I'm looking for a bit of consistency with my stupid OCD tagging. It's all over the place and I've decided I've had enough, since I can't come to conclusions on my own.
Here's examples of common problems I find myself flip-flopping with:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem 1: I have : The "Overdose Mix" of KMFDM's "A Drug Against War"
IE: Using [] or () for remix names?
T: A Drug Against War [Overdose Mix]
or
T: A Drug Against War (Overdose Mix)
The [ ] makes some stuff get awfully block-y looking when six tracks in a row end up being remixes, so I started switching to parenthesis. But it then hit me that some songs have parenthetical titles, so using the () format would be wierd, ie: Orgy's "Fiction (Dreams in Digital) (Blue Zone Club Mix)" vs "Fiction (Dreams in Digital) [Blue Zone Club Mix]"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Problem 2: I have: The "Resister Mix" of "Victims Among Friends" by God Module, remixed by Suicide Commando.
IE: Giving credit to the remixer in the title?
Title: Victims Among Friends <Resister Mix> - fill that with either the [] or ()
Artists: God Module; Suicide Commando
or
Title: Victims Among Friends <Resister Mix by Suicide Commando> - or some variation of credit to SC in the Title?
Artists: God Module; Suicide Commando
The first one looks cleaner, but since I'm giving credit to guest performers (ie: Let Them Eat War (feat. Tim McIlrath)) I figured with the credit in title was more consistent. But it looks weird. Hmm...Maybe someone can give me a variation of that - so I can include the contributor in the title, but without saying something as blah as "by <artist>"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have: Ministry's live version of "Psalm 69" from the SphincTour album, vs the regular album version
IE: Should I differenciate EP's/Demo's/Live/Best Of albums and tracks from their studio counterparts? At first it was cool, but then it started getting ugly after a while.
Album Name: [Live] SphincTour
Track Titles: [Live] Psalm 69
The reason that last practice came about was cause of my OCD for seeing anything in the Duplicate Titles list of the "Files to Edit" lists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Damn it! isn't there some sort of official guideline thing out yet on how to label these sorts of things? Hahahaha.
Thanks for any input, guys. =]
