  • Post subject: indicating box set in title
  • Quote
i was wondering what the preferred format is for indicating a box set in an album title. there are currently several different formats in use, for example:

(box set) = album 25753
Box Set = album 44903
(Boxed Set) = album 35524
(Box Set) = album 31072
[Box Set] = album 66414

that last one was mine... i used square brackets because i'd seen them used in tracklistings, but then i looked up other box sets and found the variety of formats.

BEA usually uses round brackets for supplementary information, so (Box Set) would be the preferred way of doing this if the title on the album artwork does not already mention it. I'll add something to the help text regarding this.
