Hi, I know the usual policy is to reproduce typos in tracklists, but I'm introducing a Various Artists compilation release where a track title has a typo in the back cover of the jewel case (the track name is written like "I Do Not Want I Haven't Got") but it's written correctly in the tracklist on the CD surface ("I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got"). Which one should I use in MB?

If it's correct on the media, I'd use that

antlarr: actually we do error correction if we're sure it's an error

reosarevok: really? I'd swear I've seen some cases of typos being kept on purpose
and I even thought it was the policy (fix them in the recording name/keep them in tracklists)

thanks for the link, it's good to know (althought artist intention is sometimes hard/impossible to know)

If you think it might be intentional to shorten a title, then you should keep it

Same for "typos" like writing "ke pasa" or whatever

But if it seems like an accident, we generally fix it

Once alternative tracklists are in, then we can maybe have an alternate "as written with all errors" one

reosarevok: oh, I didn't know there's work on doing "alternative tracklists" will those replace pseudoreleases for tracklist translations?

That's the hope

derwin: I’m working on getting the old user survey data together - interestingly there’s an about equal number of ‘too much standardisation’ and ’not enough standardisation’ comments (I haven’t counted though). Both parties seem invested, based on their language :P

In my background in databases and data storage, my strong and transparent bias is towards data that is useful. While I acknowledge that raw data might be useful to someone, somewhere (someone researching how often people at the record company made typos that made it through the art process?), I can see far more usability benefits from lightly scrubbed ("standardized") data
