Revision as of 21:00, 14 August 2013

Enter the most complete and correct version of the track title, as it appears on the release. Typically, track titles are listed on the back of a release. If a more complete version of the title is available within the material associated with the release, such as a booklet or liner, use this version or, if necessary, produce a composite version.

As usual, the style principles of error correction and artist intent apply. The general guidance for titles, applies specifically to tracks as follows:

  • Capitalisation should generally follow the language specific guidance.
  • Extra title information usually indicates a version of a track, for example a particular mix, or an acoustic version.
  • Use the multiple titles style when there are multiple songs named on one track, whether a compilation, DJ mix or medley.
  • For tracks, a subtitle is typically used when both a medley (or mix) and the songs it contains are named, i.e. Medley Name: Song 1 / Song 2.
  • Parts, volume and series numbers...

If no track title is available, follow the guidance for unknown and untitled tracks.

If the track is an [ReMix], follow the specific guidance.
