Me too. On behalf of both me, and others in my household who're going to 
look for this or that piece of Mozart... (At least I hope they will :)

And I'd like to throw in yet another consideration:

Deviating from what is printed on sleeves is not something we should do 
without good reasons for it. (Yes, we do it very often already by 
imposing some common formatting.)

This streamlining of the editing process seems to entail that we 
shouldn't even *look* at track listings, except for finding out where in 
the masterworks section we should look. This is not how things are 
usually done at MB, and it will be confusing to people that are tagging 
their files ("how did this information on something that looks like a 
chemical element isotope enter my track title?, is this some computer 
virus?"),

I hope this will all be resolved for the best eventually, but I am 
concerned that this is going too fast, and undiscussed.

(My apologies if some of this has been adressed somewhere else without 
my noticing it.)
