        but if you have a disc id already in there, there's a "magic" URL musicbrainz.org/add-discid?14+1+2+ etc. etc.

        most I don't really care to argue about it except for a few like Tommy February6

        • 2004-12-01 33655, 2004

        who has sort of a pattern in that she abuses it weirdly

        • 2004-12-01 33605, 2004

      • dupuy
        yep - that's the main reason we defer to it; since there is clear evidence of artistic intent

        • 2004-12-01 33616, 2004

      • DJKC
        instead of others who always spell certain songs with no caps, others with all caps, and others capitalized regularily

        • 2004-12-01 33629, 2004

      • DJKC
        no real pattern to it but always consistently the same way

        • 2004-12-01 33644, 2004

      • dupuy
        still, there are people who argue that a song is "titled" "-" (no quotes), not [untitled]

        • 2004-12-01 33607, 2004

      • dupuy
        so .jp artists have no monopoly on crazy title fetishism

        • 2004-12-01 33611, 2004

      • DJKC
        would depend on the artist really

        • 2004-12-01 33631, 2004

      • DJKC
        dupuy: no, but I'd say the average level is higher

        • 2004-12-01 33647, 2004

      • DJKC
        especially with the English fetishcism

        • 2004-12-01 33650, 2004

      • DJKC
        and misuse

        • 2004-12-01 33655, 2004

      • dupuy
        directly proportional to the number of wingdings in artist name?

        • 2004-12-01 33603, 2004

      • DJKC
        hmm?

        • 2004-12-01 33617, 2004

      • dupuy
        just a hypothesis...

        • 2004-12-01 33623, 2004

      • DJKC
        no, but if you look at random English artist titles

        • 2004-12-01 33634, 2004

      • DJKC
        they're generally going to make a fair amount of sense and actually be English words

        http://www2.oricon.co.jp/ranking/daily_single.html

        • 2004-12-01 33631, 2004

      • DJKC
        current top 20 singles in Japan, spot all the English

        • 2004-12-01 33600, 2004

      • DJKC
        note the consistent misuse of capitalization on almost all of them

        • 2004-12-01 33612, 2004

      • dupuy
        that must be another shift-jis encoded site....

        • 2004-12-01 33629, 2004

      • DJKC
        yes

        • 2004-12-01 33636, 2004

      • DJKC
        most Japanese sites are

        • 2004-12-01 33651, 2004

      • DJKC
        and the majority of the ones that aren't are EUC

        • 2004-12-01 33656, 2004

      • DJKC
        very little unicode usage really

        • 2004-12-01 33651, 2004

      • DJKC
        hmmm... good thing I used that link as a random example, there's a single by a group I've never heard of covering one of my favorite songs that I'm going to have to hunt down now...

        • 2004-12-01 33607, 2004

      • dupuy
        good luck - i've got to go

        • 2004-12-01 33635, 2004

      • DJKC
        alright
