History:Disc Number Style

Style for Disc Numbers, Multiple Discs with Individual Names, Singles with Disc Numbers & Bonus Discs

• Discs without a name

• When a disc is part of a MultiDiscRelease and has no DiscName, indicate the disc number by appending " (disc x)" to the AlbumTitle, with 'x' indicating the sequential number without zero padding, letters etc. Also, if other words than 'disc' are specifically used on the album (e.g. 'page'), still use 'disc'.

• Discs with a name

• An extension to the case above: when a disc also has a DiscName, that name must be included as follows: " (disc x: Disc Name)"

• Bonus disc without a name

• For a BonusDisc without a DiscName, append " (bonus disc)" to the AlbumTitle.

• Bonus disc with a name

• For a BonusDisc with a DiscName, append " (bonus disc: Disc Name)" to the AlbumTitle.

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 AlbumTitle 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)"
