The title of the single, album or CD as stated on the cover or (preferably) on the label. I would then use the spelling of the language. So with Dutch and English titles only the first word and names with a capital letter. German titles also capitalize nouns.
The best of Abba instead of The best of
Examples:
Her name was Jenny
The girl I can't forget
I want to hold your hand
Die Gitarre und das Meer

This is indeed: how do you fill it in
The best of
...... the best of
I just find The Best of: no artist is already listed
but filling in the tracks is often a lot of work
and via musicmeter, amazon etc it is often easy, copy / paste and then adjust it but almost all words are written with a capital letter
and especially CDs DVDs can literally be copied

If the cover and label say The best of Abba, then as far as I'm concerned that is the title and not just The best of.
Isn't that exactly what you always want, Dick? Completeness of the label?
I think there is a difference with eg Greatest hits. That stands alone, unless it explicitly states: Eagles: greatest hits or Eagles' greatest hits.

I can agree with this only if it says Abba greatest hits then actually rather not
And for the following reason
usually the band name is on the cover
and then you get the band name and then the title
that's why I choose only the best of, greatest, live or whatever example “ 386353

We agree :-) I would have done The Kinks Live like you do.
Abba greatest hits becomes Greatest hits for me, but Abba: Greatest hits I record like this.

Wouldn't it be helpful if the administrators agree on this? Then it also becomes a bit clearer for other importers…
FransS (understandably) adheres to these rules and even changes them. But PeteMolenaar and Pepernoot, who are also very active within Music, use a different (also preferred by me) way in which every word in the title becomes a capital letter. 757069 is a good example of this.

I agree with you!
Likes every word in the title with capital letters better, nicer, clearer but that's personal.
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band - Sgt. Pepper’s lonely hearts club band
Usually on other sites you will also see this spelling used in capital letters.
But unambiguity is important.
But I understand from Frans that he will soon publish an appointment list

Very good idea, such an appointment list. It seems to me an even better idea, that the appointment list also represents the opinion of “the masses”.
I already see 4 “major” users of the music category who have a different preference from French. And I have also seen on other input parts, that there are followers of different shapes.

That's why we started the discussion at one point.
But unfortunately not many users respond.
Frans started the discussion on October 29 and several advances were given. .
But if a list is now made for the purpose of entering, it can of course be adjusted through experience from practice, insights etc.
And I think all options are still possible.

I prefer capitals for each word in the title.
As far as I am concerned, it says “nicer”. Have to say that I copy / paste a lot and after that I don't always pay attention to how this is written ..
Now try to stick to the A: and B: used (for singles) for the tracks.

copy / paste is also the ideal invention for me and because of that I also noticed that the initial letters are often written with a capital letter, except a, on, for, in etc provided it is not the opening of the track of course .
I think with a little attention, just like the: should this still be possible and help each other in case of ambiguities
What I would like that the back and at least 1 side of the label is added as a scan. Provided you have the opportunity.

@ Kevin,
It is of course the intention that the agreements that are made are also supported by the masses. That is precisely why I started these threads.
It is not bad at all that others have a different opinion. The intention is that we reach clear agreements together. This is also a tool for administrators to reject or change items.
Regarding the capital letters in titles: Pepernoot likes it; I find it unclear: )
It is easier if you indeed use copy / paste and don't look at anything. On many sites you will often find the titles in capital letters, but I also come across those that do not have it. Most of the importers stick to copy / paste and do not adjust anything afterwards.
For the time being, I am in favor of the Dutch spelling rules. The only logical counter-argument I have come across so far is that Pepernoot likes it better:

Hi French, I also like capital letters better, but there should just be a guideline whatever that may be,
but with Dutch spelling you will also use capital letters for names etc and German titles even more often. clear agreements.
Or literally from vinyl, etc Although I think that will be a messy picture. give.

I totally agree. Agreements have to be made and that is what these wires are for. Of course you use capital letters with names and certainly with German titles: ) But I shouldn't think about reading books or magazines where everything is written with capital letters.
Literally from cover or label I wouldn't do, because it will then indeed become a mess. Designers like to play with layout and layout. It would also mean that you would sometimes have to do everything in capital letters. I believe that is called screaming in the netiquette;
)
But don't get me wrong: if the majority want capital letters, we also do capital letters. No problem.

My preference is capitalized first word of the title and of course always with the names.
On the issue of Best of and Greatest hits
my preference is for band / singer (es) without mention. Those names are indeed already mentioned under “Artist / Band” so why also in the title?

One of the reasons I favor lowercase letters in the title is because this is also the case with comics and books. In other words, uniformity within Catawiki.
As for Best of and Greatest hits. I think there is a difference here: The best of… is an unfinished sentence in contrast to Greatest hits. you don't know who they belong to.

If the general rule for cata is lowercase, the discussion will run quickly.
Do not forget to include it in the guidelines. (If necessary with an example).
At: Greatest, the best of, etc is of course correct if you only select on these criteria, but I assume if you start searching in such a general slogan, you know that you will end up in chaos comes.
Indeed when performing a new item you will come across that list, but that is actually a one-off.
Especially the use of the artist's name for: best, greatest I don't think it is a good idea even if it is as on carrier or cover, behind it could still be. Not my preference.

As for Dick52 says about the long list that you will see (possibly once) when entering a new item.
Can't it then be proposed to adjust those automatic search results?
For example after you have entered “title” and “name of artist / band”. And not like now, right after you are entering “title”.
With this combination the list becomes a lot shorter, because you only see the relevant artist / band with the entered titles. So it is more practical to check that you are not entering twice.

This would indeed be an advantage.
When it comes to duplicate entries, I would also like it if you call up list and can immediately make a selection by title, now I think it applies year (if not filled in, the items are not together) and then also get a display of the catanumber so that you can easily pass it on to the administrators.
I often use list to check whether the countries have been entered correctly, also you can easily see if the serial numbers match
