[mb-users] making discs in a series be consistent (some existing, some new)?

[Thomas Tholén]

a) How about just "Artist's Choice" as release title, as that seems like a
consistent string of characters that show up everywhere where the title's
supposed tro be, with or without the artist name before or after it?

Check this out:

"[Artist] [Title]": Yo-Yo Ma artist's choice
"[Title] [Artist] [Fluff]": artist's choice Yo-Yo Ma music that matters to
him
"[Artist]", "[Title]" in different places: <Artist Name> in one spot,
artist's choice in another, and various fluff

Neither of those seems strange for album cover layots, no?

b) Sure.
