So, if two songs with different artists share one track, should you put a slash between the artist names? this means that you enter a new artist, and that's not preferred. But sometimes you can't say what the most important artist is and you'll have to choose, or put a slash between the artists. example: [http://www.musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=212881 http://www.musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=212881]

Note that this is space, slash, space!

Discussion



What about adding the case where a song has a slash in it's name, like Bob Dylan's Love Minus Zero/No Limit? In this case, there should be no spaces around the slash. --Zout

Correcting my own suggestion: what about always putting spaces around the slash? Is easier to verify and looks better... --Zout

I prefer the space slash space for multiple titles and the simple slash for slashes in titles. --DonRedman
