Extra Title Information on recordings

Since NGS went live I have been moving Extra Title Information form Recording
titles to the disambiguation comment, but on a recent edit I made (
http://musicbrainz.org/edit/16029660 ) mihhkel asked me why I was doing it
and, well... I could not find a guideline for it, so I'm asking about it
here.

Now in NGS, should Extra Title Information be part of title or part of the
disambiguation comment? I think, as the field name says, the title should
only have the Works title(s) normalized (separated by slashes when two or
more songs are on the same recording, with medley title if it has one, etc)
while "extra" info. ("live", "edit", etc) should be put on the
disambiguation comment (so usually different performances of the same song
have the same recording titles and different disambiguation comments).

In either case, I think http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Recording should be
updated so it explicelty says to keep ETI on title or move to disambiguation
(though a RFC  would be needed for this...)

Happy New Year :)

The only guideline for ETI is live, which should be moved to recording
comments in a specific way as indicated in
http://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Specific_types_of_releases#Live_recordings
For the rest, there's nothing, and a lot of people explicitly are
against moving a lot of ETI to comments - although stuff like "album
version" or "single version" is probably safe to move, especially if
not indicated as such in all releases.

Re: Extra Title Information on recordings

I’m against moving ETI from name to comment when it is explicitely printed on
the release, thus a known ETI.
ETI in comment should be reserved to the ETI that is made up by us, for
disambiguation purpose.
This is what I think. :)
