User:Tommycrock/Proposal/Track Title
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. Extra information that is not intended to distinguish between tracks should not be entered as extra title information. Examples of other information that should usually not be entered in the title are 'bonus track' or 'traditional'.
- 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 OC ReMix track, follow the specific guidance.
