I don't have a strong opinion either way on this. I think in most cases it can be implied, but there's certainly no harm in having it in the disambiguation field. It would look odd having it as ETI, so I would object to that. > As for other ETI I'd say if it's named put it in recording title, if > not, in disambiguation.

You seem to be making a rather dubious argument about something being 'named' (not sure exactly what that means). How exactly is someone noting a track as "radio edit" any less valid a name? Track titles are not a solution. It brings a whole host of other problems, and there's no even any guarantee that the track listing of a particular release will have the most complete information. Recordings I see as an amalgamation of the information available on a track, and some of this may not be present on a single track listing for whatever reason. > -- > Per / Wizzcat > > _______________________________________________ > MusicBrainz-style mailing list > MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org > http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style -- Andii :-) _______________________________________________ MusicBrainz-style mailing list MusicBrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
