[mb-users] megadeth bootleg track title issues

[Per Øyvind Øygard]

You seem to have done a better job at naming the tracks than I did  
initially. I haven't actually listened to the album (the quality is  
terrible) since it's just one I found lying around, so I assumed the  
tracks were split correctly... alas.

If you use / to split the other tracks it does get a bit confusing however  
since I assume the medley is a true medley and not just one track with  
four songs. I'm not sure what the guidelines are for this, but prefixing  
with 'Medley' seems suboptimal.

Actually when I think about it Bogdan Butnaru's suggestion seems the best  
option. We'll end up with a really long title, but this really is a  
corner-case considering how sloppy the release is, and I'd rather just  
make it accurate.
