Television, commercial?, Original soundtrack

I agree about tv and OST with the other answers, but I doubt compact flash is meant here with cf.

I have heard cf some times used when talking about japanese music, but I am not quite sure what it stands for. I think it might have to do with songs used in commercials, but I really don't know for sure.

Apparently CF stands for \'commercial film\'. An abbreviation that is mostly used in Japan. If your original text or the product it is describing originated somewhere in that region it is most liekly, that this is what was meant.

agree Valentina Pecchiar : jingles, then? (Jingle pubblicitari in Italian)

maybe, but I think jingles are shorter. CF-Songs are more like normal singles used in, popularized by or made for TV-commercials.
