Same here (bar the classical stuff which I don't work on and thus don't know too much about). To expand on my point, I can see cases where you would want track names to differ e.g. * Crediting a track differently depending on the release such as having Queen as a featured artist on "Under Pressure" for a Bowie release. * Allowing "The Detroit Spinners" to be used on UK releases rather than "The Spinners". But keeping something like Madonna being spelt Madona on a release doesn't make any sense to me. This is especially true as most consumers will get track-level only for the time being. -- Andrew :-) Support Free Java!
