I just wanted to note that I do not interprete the Disc_Number_Style as strongly as you seem to do. http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Disc_Number_Style makes no mention at all of non-english releases, so I wouldn't neccesarily use 'disc' on those. If e.g. a dutch release uses "schijf: subtitle" on the backcover, I will use 'schijf' in the release title on musicbrainz. This is rare though, I couldn't find an example of this last time I went through my dutch releases. But especially because it's so rare I want to capture that when it occurs. Changing it to 'disc' loses information I want to retain. Ofcourse in practice this would not be problem for me, because in the cases where it matters ConsistentOriginalData applies and Disc_Number_Style is not a strong guideline. -- kuno / warp. _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
