Zout suggested that we clarify what ExtraTitleInformation is and the different bits of Extra Title Information Style. I created this as a project page. Once clarification has been reached the pages could be updated. --DonRedman
What is Extra Title Information
This list tries to collect everything that can be considered ExtraTitleInformation. Then in a second step we can decide which one to include in the Track Title and which not. There is also more info on the page on TrackVersions.
- versions:
- simple: "Song Name (remix)" / "Song Name (dub)" / "Song Name (take 2)"
- just attribute: "Song Name (alternate)" / "Song Name (acoustic)" / "Song Name (classical)"
- with-attribute version: "Song Name (attribute type)"
- attributes: alternate / instrumental guitar piano vocal chorus acoustic / rough heavy slow / album EP single radio / $language / $year
- types: version mix remix edit dub take cut reprise
- named version: "Song Name (Fire in the Sky version)" / "Song Name (Butterfly remix)"
- with-author mix: "Song Name (DJ Dee Jay mix)" / "Song Name (Dee Jayer's remix)" / "Song Name (remix by Dee Jay)"
- complex: "Song Name (Dee Jayer's 1992 'Ultrabot' remix at Mix Fest)" – any subset of remixer's name, moment, place, title and type of remix
- other: "prerelease|demo|initial [version|mix]"
- vinyl single: "A-side" "B-side" "A-side remix '95"
- special: "OC ReMix" has special styling
- "instrumental" (sometimes this distinguishes an instrumental version from a vocal version, sometimes this is just an adjective which applies to all versions of this song)
- other phrases that mean "instrumental" (usually these distinguish this verision from another vocal version)
- song title (original instrumental)
- song title (without vocal)
- song title (Backtrack)
- song title (Backtracks)
- song title (Back track)
- song title (Backing track)
- song title (karaoke)
- song title (original karaoke)
- song title (-1 karaoke)
- song title (karaoke version)
- song title (it's-your-turn-mix)
- song title (missing both version)
- song title (TV version) (sometimes means instrumental, more often means edited short version)
- song title (music box version)
- song title (off vocal version)
- song title (vocalless version)
- song title (negative)—not a separate version, the exact same mix as the original minus the vocal track (for karaoke, probably).
- other phrases that mean "instrumental" (usually these distinguish this verision from another vocal version)
- "(live)" and variations
- "feat. Artist X" / "featuring Some Body on flute" / "feat. Artist X of BandName"
- "Artist A versus Artist B"
- "from the movie XY" (what about games and other media?)
- "soundtrack" (??)
- "bonus" / "limited edition bonus"
- "unreleased" / "previously unreleased" / "outtake" "album outtake"
- "taken from Other Release Name"
- "excerpt" / "highlights"
- "medley"
- "jam": example
- "Other Artist cover" up to "originally by Other Artist on album AlbumName in 1997" or "originally recorded by Hawkwind"
- "[[[Image:6454.jpg]] see cover]).
- "Nom de chanson (French version of Song Name)" — extra info: this song is a translation of "Song Name" to French
- or just "Same Name (German)" — in this case it's version info!
- or "Title in Italian (translation in English)" — in this case there is no song with the English title, the translation in parantheses is either part of title or just helpful info
- "Song Name - Composer Name" or "Song Name - music:AnArtist, lyrics:AnotherArtist"
- I've also seen more weird things like:
- Excerpt of "Churchil's Speech & Beginning of Aces High" (sic - we'd probably use the quotes differently)
- Intro (folcloric processing by N. Covaci) (instrumental) (very uninspired translation by me)
- "interview"
- "mixshow"
- "mono"/"stereo"
- "ensemble"
