Style/Titles/Multiple titles

Or Multiple Songs in One Track

If two releases are re-released on one CD, or if two songs share the same track, the title should be split as follows:

• This Is the Modern World / All Mod Cons
  • This is an OfficialStyleGuideline.

Note that this is space, slash, space!

For SplitReleases, SplitReleaseTitleStyle is applied.

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

Inappropriate use of spaces on either side of a slash: The “slash” character (also known as solidus or the virgule does NOT take spaces on either side when used in the English language. Its very purpose is to separate words or phrases, hence, there is no need for spaces on either side.

Everyone should be familiar with the slash as in “and/or,” “11/12/06,” “Yes/No,” or even in “3/4.” A “2-fer” CD with two albums should then properly be entered as “first title name/second title name.” Proper English usage dictates that there is NO need for excessive spaces around Mr. Slash! -- JazzAggie

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

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. examples at TracksWithMultipleArtists
