where to use:

  • within tango.info
  • for exchange of music between other people, so they easier see which tracks they have, without retagging.

tango.info naming conventions

  • use proper spanish, with diacritics
    and correct capitalisation
    Needed definition of 'proper Spanish'!
    Needed: definition of 'correct'
  • two-digit numbers should be written as alphabetic
    • 9 de julio -> Nueve de julio
    • El 11 -> El once
    • El 13 -> El trece
  • issues
    • three letter numbers
      • e.g. "Milonga del novecientos" vs "Milonga del 900"
    • four letter numbers

sadaic.org.ar

only uses alphabetic work titles

alternative titles

  • which is primary? Flor de Monserrat vs Pobre negrito
  • current practice varies e.g. second title is:
    • true alternative - appended in brackets e.g.
    • De todo te olvidas (cabeza de novia)
      • better?: De todo te olvidas (Cabeza de novia)
    • REDIRECT - appended with '=>' e.g. Copa del olvido => La copa del olvido
      • only in workslist, indicates a "redirect"
        • i.e. "Copa del olvido" is wrong and the correct title is "La copa del olvido"
          • Better?: state only the correct title
        • 9 de julio => Nueve de julio
    • undetermined - appended with ' / ' e.g. Loca de amor / La loca de amor
      • Bad: This is indistinguishable from single title containing ' / ' e.g. La Yumba / Adiós Noniño)
    • Represented as a distinct work e.g. El tabernero and Tabernero
      • if same work it should be merged and only a redirect left
        • missing: criteria of 'same'.
