I agree with normalizing these things. I would also add to the list, just to be explicit: * Mis-ordered tracklists (where the cover prints the tracks in a different order from the actual medium) I would also personally like to keep normalizing medley titles (space slash space) between tunes - at least until perhaps one day we will have sub-track title access in the database. >> * Some abbreviations: >> * "w/" → "with" >> * "ft." → "feat." >> >> If any affected features "as printed" are important for identifying a >> particular release, a note can be made in the release annotation. I thought we were moving away from FeaturingArtistStyle ... so this should be moot in titles, shouldn't it? Or were you saying that in the artist credits we would normalize those things? In that case I agree.
