Version Information
How to enter and format version information.1. Distinguishing versions: Use the Version field to distinguish multiple versions of the same track or to identify a version that differs from the original. Common examples include Instrumental, Backing Track, Remastered, Female Version, Choir Version, Solo Version, Remix, and DJ Version. Terms such as Official Version, Full Version, and Original Version are not accepted.
2. Unnecessary version information: Do not add version information to the standard original recording. Examples of unnecessary values include Original Version, Album Version, and Original Mix.
3. Live recordings: Identify a live recording in the Version field using "Live," "Ao Vivo," "En Vivo," or the equivalent in the release metadata language. If every track is live, add the designation at release level as well.
4. Enter version information in the Version field, not as part of the title.
5. Soundtracks and scores: Soundtracks and scores must identify the source in the release title. Example: "Hidden Love (Original Television Soundtrack)."
Do not use the abbreviation "O.S.T." in release or track titles for films, television programs, musicals, video games, or scores.
If tracks come from different soundtracks, identify the source in each track title. Example: "I Have Someone I Like (Ending Theme from Hidden Love)."
A soundtrack single must use the same release title and track title.
If a soundtrack remix does not appear in the film soundtrack, do not include the film title.
For a musical, include the year and location of the production or release. Do not use "Original" unless it is the first production or first release.
6. Spell out track version information using standard wording. Do not abbreviate it.
7. The Version field must use the same language as the title.
Correct: Title: Fall in Love; Version: Instrumental
Incorrect: Title: Fall in Love; Version: 伴奏版
