Disadvantage to hear a song (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catch

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'disadvantage' is the first definition.
('what's the catch?')

'to hear' is the second definition.
(catching is a kind of hearing)

'a song' is the third definition.
(old-fashioned type of musical composition)

(Other definitions for catch that I've seen before include "Arrest" , "Dismiss (batsman); break (in voice)" , "Get a grip on" , "Snag; be in time for (train)" , "Trap (a batsman?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
