Titles

When entering a release or track title into MusicBrainz, please adhere to the following guidelines:

• Follow the appropriate Capitalization_Standard
• Use a colon (:) to separate multi-line parts
• Use a slash (/) to seperate multiple titles
• Expand abbreviations
• Use a comma (,) to seperate words such as Volume or Part when the release or song is part of a series

Detailed guidelines with examples

Capitalization

Album and song titles are often found in uppercase on the back cover of CDs. For example, the album [of Love and Hate] by Leonard Cohen is written as SONGS OF LOVE AND HATE on the cover. This is usually the choice of a graphic designer, not the artist. So, instead of copying the title from the cover, we follow certain rules to capitalize a title. There rules are different for each language, please see Capitalization_Standard for more information.
