Style for Untitled Tracks
Enter "[untitled]" as the name for untitled music tracks.
If the track is released elsewhere with an official name, this name should be used instead of "[untitled]".
- This is an OfficialStyleGuideline.
Rationale
Many tracks have no official name, and we use the special title "[untitled]" for these tracks. While there are albums that have no track titles, the more common example of untitled tracks is the "hidden" or bonus tracks that you often find on CDs after the listed tracks.
Discussion
Note that there is also the SilenceTrackStyle for tracks that are not untitled songs but just contain silence, and the DataTrackStyle for DataTracks.
