According to this rule, the bottom one is correct. But it also looks wrong, while the first one looks right. |
Actually it would be "Castles in the Sky". cdnow.com and amazon.com are pretty good when it comes to this. Most of their songs are labeled correctly.
Here's another example: Rage Against the Machine - Bullet in the Head |

Yea I used Amazon.ca on a few, and some were labeled otherwise. Bad luck that the ones I checked were labelled wrong.
Now I have to sort through my mp3s and fix them, again. Argh. |

ive got it down for most, except for capitalization of van, de, in, the, of, a... etc...
how are your collections doing in terms of labeling? |

| How many of you people actually change the ID3 tags to be correct as well? And which of the two do you prefer (ID3v1, ID3v2, or both)? |

While it is technically correct to use lowercase the, a, etc. as in "Rage Against the Machine", I don't do it. Capitalizing every word just looks neater, and it's easier to be consistent. I do however use lowercase letters for van, de, etc, if it's a name that should be spelled accordingly.
eg, In Full Color - Not The First (Vincent de Moor Remix)
I also have my ID3 tags neat, yes. I use v1 and v2 tags interchangeably.
edit While we're on the topic, teknohead has the worst habit when it comes to naming files, eg, James Holden- Horizons (Way Out West Remix). There needs to be a space after the artist name! :p |

All of my ID3 tags are labeled correctly, and I use both of them. |

Is there a quick way to edit the ID3 tags? I do it manually through Winamp if I notice something is not right.
Very slow. |

| All of the above cases depend on the individual artist or label releasing the track. There are no hard and fast rules. |

There must be. And if there isn't, at least a naming convention for media files. |

But there isn't. And my "convention" is to name my files the same way they're written on the vinyl/CD. Hence you get a mixed bag. |
