I have a lot of curiosity about Case's prefered case rolleyes.gif

I would use whatever is the appropriate thing to do according to the English rules... not knowing the rules I have a bit of a problem... rolleyes.gif
Usually I go for the way it's written on the cover or else I'd use upper-case for the first letter in each word (never everything is upper-case...that's for mentally unstable people).

"First Letter of Every Word Uppercase Except Articles" is the way they teach you how to title things in school . . . so . . .

Actually, the rule is to always captialize the first, last and all important words. From the remainder, capitalize them all except short prepositions, articles and conjunctions. "Short" normally means four or fewer letters. This is the pattern I try to use.

Then again, the rules vary depending on who you ask.

Sounds right to me. It's what I do.

Prepositions and conjunctions... you have reason I forgot to write them in the poll sorry (so many hours studying algebra is BAD headbang.gif).

This is a very good goof:

well, this comes closest to my tag-style...

I actually apply this rule to the artist of the song. but I always spell the title of the song in lowercase (exept if there are names like 'DJ Whocares-rmx' or whatever).

I uppercase the first character of every word, including articles, mainly because I don't have to time to think about every word in the name of every artist and album and track in my collection. My method's fast...it's easy...it's the only acceptable way for me. I know it's not grammatically correct, but the last I checked grammar's not money...time is. wink.gif

It's the same general concept I apply to any software I use. Technologies and methods both have to be f-a-s-t. I have too many things to do each day as it is.

I don't have time to "hold it's hand". If I did, then I'd use Linux. ohmy.gif [Did I say that out loud?]


Edit: Geez...Can you tell I had a bad day??? Sorry. Please don't hurt me, Linux users. ph34r.gif

I also don't capitalize with or presents (or pres.) or versus (or vs.).

Same here, rocketsauce.

To put it simply, the title of the song is completely capitalized... the band's name is cased as I prefer (i.e. KoRn), and things such as ft. and vs are not capitalized.

I Capitalize every word basically. Also I use '&' instead of 'And' or 'and' because they don't look right to me.

I use
First Letter of Every Word Uppercase Except Articles"
for english and

"First letter uppercase" except for names for other language (slovene, italian, etc.)

My tagging is based in what is written in the cd case.
Except if it appears with some strange casing.
For example Samael's "Exodus" had a cover which read "e x o d u s".
When I find some flaws in my rule, I use common sense biggrin.gif
