&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 So should &quot;Old Tunes vol. 1&quot; be part of=
 the title, put in the<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 disambiguation<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 field, or in the annotation?&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 I think alternative titles would be good to have. Even=
 official<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 releases can have inofficial titles like that, the obv=

&gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 being &quot;The White Album&quot; by Beatles. But wher=
e I have mostly felt a<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 need for alternative titles is when there are (slightl=

&gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 titles on the release, for example on front cover, on =
spine, and<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; on<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;=C2=A0 disc.&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; The question then is where that alt. title should go. Should it b=

&gt; &gt; brackets after the main title, or should it be in the disambiguat=

&gt; &gt; comment?<br>
&gt; I wonder if it might make sense to look into adding an aliases system<=
