+1 to all of this. Those of us (myself, for one) who want more normalized titles can have their tagger look at the recordings or the works instead of the tracklists. The one downside I can see to this is that the feat. artist will not have that release appear in their releases because they don’t have an artist credit on it (it will only appear in relationships). I don’t know if that’s enough of a problem for it to mean we need an exception guideline to the “as on the cover” concept. —Alex Mauer “hawke” _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
