Revision as of 12:05, 5 July 2007
Style for Disc Numbers, Multiple Discs with Individual Names, Singles with Disc Numbers & Bonus Discs
- Discs without an extra title
- When a disc is part of a MultiDiscRelease and has no DiscTitle, indicate the disc number by appending " (disc x)"[1] to the ReleaseTitle, with 'x' indicating the sequential number without zero padding, letters etc. Also, if other words than 'disc' are specifically used on the release (e.g. 'page'), still use 'disc'.
- Discs with an extra title
- An extension to the case above: when a disc also has a DiscTitle, that name must be included as follows: " (disc x: Disc Title)"
- Bonus disc without an extra title
- For a BonusDisc without a DiscTitle, append " (bonus disc)" to the ReleaseTitle.
- Bonus disc with an extra title
- For a BonusDisc with a DiscTitle, append " (bonus disc: Disc Title)" to the ReleaseTitle.
Note that a DiscNumber is not the same as a VolumeNumber.
DiscNumbers for singles are also added, even when they're sold separately. It is common practice in many countries, for example the UK, to number these singles. They're usually released on the same dates in the same countries. Only add a DiscNumber to the ReleaseTitle if it is actually written on the sleeve!
- This is an OfficialStyleGuideline.
Examples
- "The Wall (disc 2)"
- "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness (disc 2: Twilight to Starlight)"
- "Beautiful Freak (bonus disc)"
- "Greatest Hits (bonus disc: Acoustic Hits)"

How should We Are Scientists' Crap Attack be called? It's a release containing one CD and one DVD. Should the CD be titled by its proper name of "Crap Attack (disc 1: B-Sides, Remixes and Rarities)" when there is no 'disc 2' listed? Or "Crap Attack: B-Sides, Remixes and Rarities" as if it's a subtitle? Or just "Crap Attack"? thewilkybarkid
- As long as the DVD is mentioned in the album annotation, I don't think the disc number is required in that instance, so I'd use "Crap Attack: B-Sides, Remixes and Rarities".
Disc numbers tend to refer to CDs, but what about vinyl? Should we use disc numbers if an album is short enough to fit on one CD, but released on two pieces of vinyl as if it's a double album?

- Please read MultiDiscRelease. Disc refers to any media, not only cd. So, yes, multi-vinyl sets do use a "disc" information. It has nothing to do with the length of the record, if it would fit on a CDr 80, etc. -- dmppanda 12:05, 05 July 2007 (UTC)
- ↑ Yes, there is a space before the paranthesis. The ReleaseTitle should be separated from the DiscNumber in parantheses by a space.
