MusicMoz - Track Listings

Note

This document is intended for editors rather than submitters. If you are a submitter you are perfectly welcome to read and use this document when submitting, but please also feel free to submit the information in a form you're happy with, and one of our editors will translate it appropriately when adding your submission.

For most track listings, simply enter the tracks, one per line. If you know the length of a track, simply include it in square brackets, example:

This is a Track [3:42]

For compilations you can also specify a band or artist for each track, like this:

This is a Track - Some Band [4:42]

Occasionally you'll want to get a little more adventurous, and use the discs and sections feature. Perhaps easiest illustrated with a couple of examples.

Multiple Discs

To get:

Disc 1
1. Track 1
2. Track 2
3. Another Track
4. Track

Disc 2
1. Track on Second CD
2. Another Track over Here
3. Whatever

Use:

<disc number="1">
Track 1
Track 2
Another Track
Track
</disc>

<disc number="2">
Track on Second CD
Another Track over Here
Whatever
</disc>

You can do sides instead of discs by simply using side instead of disc.

Changing the Track Numbering

You can reset the track numbering at the start of a disc, for example to make the second disc start back at 1:

<disc number="1">
Track 1
Track 2
Another Track
Track
</disc>

<disc number="2" counter="1">
Track on Second CD
Another Track over Here
Whatever
</disc>

You can set the counter to any numeric value at the start of a disc, though you should rarely, if ever, need to do this. If you don't specify a value the counter will just keep counting from where it was before the start of the disc.

Finally

If you have any difficulties with the discs/sections feature please feel free to get in touch with an editall or meta editor who should be able to help you. Don't use HTML in track listings; by using the appropriate disc and section tags you enable us and our data users to do cleverer things with track information.
