I would advise against considering 'inspired by' discs as soundtracks
unless they explicitly refer to themselves as soundtracks.
Whether they are treated as specifically soundtracks or not (That's
what we're discussing isn't it?) I am mostly pointing out they should
be mentioned in a soundtrack style guideline, so that everyone is
clear how they _should_ be treated.
DoCo stuff (Whether on a real soundtrack or an "inspired by" one)
would probably fall under the pop/rock kind of soundtrack anyway,
wouldn't they?
