Is typically a prerecorded talk show that can be downloaded from a variety of sources such as Apples Itunes?

3.2. Additional Information. The standard, original version of an album, track, or music video must not include any additional information in the title unless it is needed to identify the content.

For example, titles must not include Exclusive, Limited Edition, Album Version, Original Mix, Tone, Alert Tone, Text Tone, Ringtone, Ringtone Version, E-Release, Digital Only, Digital Download, Digital Single, E-Album, 2 CD Set, With Lyrics, Clips from, Official Music Video, Full Song Video, Full Version, Atmos, Dolby Atmos, lossless, high-resolution audio, high resolution, spatial audio, 24-bit, 192 kHz, 128 kHz, or 96 kHz.

Do not submit any title version information that is already addressed with Apple Music or iTunes badges. Apple Music or iTunes display a badge or blurb for the following, so titles must not include:

• Clean Version

• Explicit Version

• Apple Digital Masters

• Dolby Atmos

• Lossless

3.3. Singles. An album must be identified as a single if it contains one to three songs that are less than 10 minutes each. “- Single” must appear at the end of the title. If “- Single” is not included in the title, we will add it automatically.

Note: Videos are not counted as songs.

3.4. EPs. An album must be identified as an EP if it has:

• One to three songs with one song at least 10 minutes long and a total running time of 30 minutes or less

• Four to six songs with a total running time of 30 minutes or less

“- EP” must appear at the end of the title. If “- EP” is not included in the title, we will add it automatically.

Note: Videos are not counted as songs.

If an album offers more content than the standard version of the album (for example, extra tracks or a bonus video), indicate the difference in the title. If an audio-only version of a CD+DVD is delivered to Apple Music or iTunes, the album title must include the term “Audio Version.” An album containing only music videos needs to be labeled "Video Album" in the Album title version.

3.6. Multiple Version References. Content that requires multiple explanatory references in the title (for example, live EPs, soundtracks, live albums, and so on), must have the first explanatory reference enclosed in parentheses (”( )”) with any additional references enclosed in brackets (”[ ]”). Note that by delivering content using the title version field, parentheses and brackets will be applied by Apple automatically.

3.7. Multiple Albums and Medley Tracks. Multiple album or track titles in the title field must be separated by a slash. Note that you must place a space before and after the slash.

3.8. Formatting. Title formatting in a series should be consistent. Descriptors like Part and Volume should be abbreviated with “Pt.” and “Vol.” Titles should be formatted as “Title, Vol. x” and “Title, Pt. x,” where x is a number.

3.9. Track Version Information. All track titles performed by the same artist on an album must be unique, except for different versions of the same track that are differentiated by Parental Advisory tags. To differentiate multiple versions of the same track title, use terms in parentheses or brackets such as:

• Alternate Take (for example, 1, 2, and so on)

• Live

• Instrumental

• Single Version

• Radio Edit

• Special Format Mix (for example, 12“ Mix)

• Extended

• Session Date Version (for example, 1947 Version)

• Incomplete

• Rehearsal

• Breakdown

• Male Version

Standard spellings with no abbreviations should be used for track title version information.

3.10. Rerecorded Versions. If a track is rerecorded, the track title must include “Rerecorded.” A rerecorded track may be hidden for editorial reasons if the original “hit” version is live in Apple Music or iTunes.

3.11. Remastered Versions and New Mixes of Previously Released Recordings. The year of remastering should be included in the title version to properly indicate the version of the master. For example, 2017 Remastered Version. Albums or tracks that are designated as Remastered in the title version must be delivered with the first-known release date of the original version of the recording.

In cases where an entirely new mix has been created for a previously released album, the album must also be delivered with the first-known release date of the original version of the album. The year of the new mix should also be noted. For example, 2013 Mix.

3.12. Soundtrack Version Information. Soundtracks and scores must include version information in the album title, enclosed in parentheses or brackets.

O.S.T. abbreviation should not be used as an album or song title version for scores, movies, TV, musicals, or video games.

If the tracks are compiled from different soundtracks, each track title must indicate the soundtrack (From “Soundtrack Name”).

Singles from the soundtrack should have the same album and track title in the format Track Title (From “Movie Name”).

Soundtrack remixes must not include the movie title if the track is not from the original soundtrack.

Musicals must reference the year and location of the performance or release. Do not use the word “Original” if the performance is not the initial staging or release of the production.

Music videos taken from musical films must contain a title version that refers to the film such as (From “Name of Film”).

• Main Title (From Game of Thrones: Season 7)

• Main Title (From The Wizard of Oz Soundtrack)

• Flying Theme (From "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”)

• Luke and Leia (From "Return of the Jedi”)

For Chinese language content, see Other Asia-Pacific Countries and Regions.

3.13. DJ Mixes Version Information. DJ Mix albums must include a title version of "DJ Mix" in the album-level version information. Mixed tracks appearing on a DJ Mix must include the title version [Mixed] after all other version information.

3.14. Remixes Collections Version Information. Albums that are a collection of remixes of the same track must indicate this in the album title. To avoid identical track titles, the titles must include enough information about the remixes to differentiate them.

If an artist is featured on the original song, the remix should be formatted as “Title (feat. Artist) [Remix].” If an artist is not featured on the original song, the remix should be formatted as “Title (Remix) [feat. Artist].”

3.15. Live Recording Version Information. If the audio is from a live recording, the title version must be indicated as “Live.” Territory-specific versions (”Ao Vivo” in Portuguese, and “En Vivo” or “En Directo” in Spanish) should be used. Do not use “Live” for Standup/Comedy albums.

If the version includes time and venue, it should be formatted as Live at Place, Year/Date. For example:

• One More Saturday Night (Live at Palladium, New York, 1977)

• One More Saturday Night (Live at Red Rocks Amphitheater, Morrison, CO, 7/8/1978)

For music videos to be considered Live, audio and video must match and be from the same performance. Prerecorded audio set to different performance footage is not considered Live.

3.16. Karaoke, Tribute, Japanese Orgel, Parody, and Ringtones. The album title must not begin with the original artist name.

For example, “Kelly Clarkson: The Bluegrass Tribute” is not an acceptable album title. Instead, format the title as “The Bluegrass Tribute to Kelly Clarkson.”

Track or ringtone titles for cover, orgel, parody songs, or tributes must not make reference to the original artist. Do not use phrases such as “Originally Performed By,” “In the Style of,” “Tribute to,” or “Cover of.”

Karaoke track titles can make reference to the original artist. You must use clarifying language to ensure that consumers will not think those artists are performing. You should use phrases such as “Originally Performed By... (original artist name).”

Titles of karaoke albums and tracks must indicate that they are an instrumental or karaoke version.

3.17. Silent, Hidden, and Ghost Tracks. Silent, hidden, and ghost tracks must be clearly labeled in the track title.

3.18. Performance, Backing, and Split Tracks. If a track is a performance track, backing track, or split track, that information must be included in the title.

3.19. Booklet Title. Digital Booklet title should follow the format: Digital Booklet - Album title.

3.21. English Title Casing. English titles should be in title case format and follow the casing conventions as outlined below. In addition, for English, words before and after a dash (-), slash (/), or colon (:) must be capitalized.

This section applies to titles in English only. For general cases not addressed in this guide, refer to The Chicago Manual of Style.

The following words must be in lowercase, with a few exceptions:

• a, an, and, as, but, for, from, nor, of, or, so, the, to, and yet.
