Data tracks are additional tracks on audio CDs that contain other data than the normal CD audio. Apply the DataTrackStyle, if you enter a CD with a data track into MusicBrainz.

Some keywords that pop up repeatedly in data tracks:

  • multimedia
  • enhanced
  • video
  • cd extra track
  • cd-maximum catalogue
  • cd media
  • cd-rom
  • cd track
  • cd+
  • cd plus
  • quicktime
  • do not rip
  • data
  • cd-extra
  • copycontrol
  • copy control
  • copy protection
  • cccd (this often appears as the title for last two tracks; both can be deleted)

also, the words for data in various languages:

  • gegevens (Dutch)
  • données (French)
  • Daten, Daten-cd, Datentrack (German)
  • στοιχεία (Greek)
  • data, Dataspår (Norwegian, Danish, Swedish)
  • データ (Japanese)
  • Prezentacja multimedialna (Polish)
  • Dodatki Multimedialne (Polish)
  • dados (Portuguese)
  • Äèñê ñ äàííûìè (badly encoded Russian)
  • Диск с данными (Russian)
  • datos (Spanish)

and the words for copy protection in various languages:

  • Beveiliging, Kopieerbeveiliging (Dutch)
  • Kopierschutz (German)
  • Kopibeskyttelse (Norwegian, Danish)

These should all be added as aliases of the SpecialPurposeArtist [data track] (which should be used for data tracks on VariousArtists albums).
