Nice work!

You can significantly simplify your code with this reordering, as a fun bonus

function updateRecords(records, id, prop, value) {
  if (value === "") {
    delete records[id][prop];
    return records;
  }
  if (prop !== "tracks") { // We already know value is not ""
    records[id][prop] = value;
    return records;
  }
  if (records[id].hasOwnProperty("tracks") === false) { // We already know prop is not "tracks"
    records[id][prop] = [value];
    return records;
  }
  if (records[id].hasOwnProperty("tracks") === true) { // We already know prop is not "tracks"
    records[id][prop].push(value);
    return records;
  }
}

More simplification along those lines is also possible Generally, if you see repetition, it is an opportunity for simplification.

and yes totally agree with simplifying whenever possible especially when you see repetition because that is a sign that code can be written more concise. I really appreciate the help! Cheers
