also artist OST or O.S.T. instead of Ost

Handle german "und" like english "and", no capitals

Dan Gravell

For artists, I wonder if a simple "canonical spelling" option would be best, so that the artist name is simply as the artist intended it.

I am already enforcing canonical for artist. Album is the way bigger problem.

Just checked: "Ac/DC" is suggested by canonical spelling

Dan Gravell

Thanks, I'll add EP, LP etc. And check AC/DC... (thought we had that as a test case actually! Will double check.)

Maybe you can make this customisable? Like a list of words and terms to ignore?

Dan Gravell

Could do... should probably be a different idea.

OK. LP and EP obviously fixed. Thanks for that! How about OST/O.S.T.?

Dan Gravell

Adding every artist name would not scale, so I want to solve this alongside the canonical artist rule. I think I could add a checkbox to the rule saying "if the artist is canonically correct, ignore the case rule".

That said, OST are an interesting one! http://musicbrainz.org/search?query=OST&type=artist&method=indexed

Could you add this as a new idea? The same fix can also be applied to album and track names.
