Track and release titles
When entering a release or track title into MusicBrainz, please adhere to the following guidelines:
Capitalization
Follow the appropriate Capitalization Standard in when the track listing on the release does not distinguish between upper and lower case. You should also follow it if the release is itself inconsistent about upper and lower case, for example if casing of the title on the spine does not match the title on the cover.
Multiple lines
If a title is split up into multiple lines on a release this usually indicates one or more subtitles, or multiple titles.
When the split indicates a subtitle, use a colon (:) to separate it from the main title. Use a slash (/) to separate multiple titles.
Examples
Capitalization
| Title on release | Title in MusicBrainz |
| All Is Full Of Love | All is Full of Love |
| confusion the waitress | confusion the waitress |
| AAN DE BEWONERS VAN DIT PAND | Aan de bewoners van dit pand |
Notes: The first title uses Capitalization Standard English, the third example is a dutch title and thus Capitalization Standard Dutch applies.
Multiple lines
| Title on release | Title in MusicBrainz |
| FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES Ring of Fates Original Soundtrack |
FINAL FANTASY CRYSTAL CHRONICLES: Ring of Fates Original Soundtrack |
| THIS IS THE MODERN WORLD and ALL MOD CONS |
This is the Modern World and All Mod Cons |
