If an album has its title and tracks capitalized on both Bandcamp and the official YouTube channel, is it safe to say that it's artist intent and it should be capitalized on MB?

<12Aerozol> It's hard to say. Personally I think that is a sign of artist intent of wanting the titles to LOOK COOL, but not necessarily that the song name is 'literally' always meant to be in caps. I don't think there is a clear answer - you can probably go with your gut... If you really want to be thorough you could check if they mention individual songs in CAPS on their social channels, e.g. in a normal sentence

Yeah it is a bit of a difficult one (the artist's name is capitalized too). It was originally imported into MB uppercase but someone changed it to "MB capitalization" a few years back - I guess I'll leave it as is as it seems like it's a bit of a grey area.

you can try to get a look on the back cover on CD/Vinyl-rls (if it exists), compare with discogs.com or change it how you think it should be and wait what voters think. if nobody complains - all good. š from my experience HIGHCAPS on bandcamp-sites = better sales numbers intended. š

Back cover of CD is a example of where we should not follow capitalisation, unless there is another sign of artist intent. All caps is a common graphic design choice for packaging :)

@zemeles Probably to encourage people to type out full, cohesive, and thought-out messages instead of multiple small, one to two word long messages in rapid succession.

Yeah, I've noticed that. I do have Discord myself, but I don't join any guilds, I only use it to send private messages to my friends who refuse to use anything else. It's a trend between them.
