| | I was thinking that when leonard brought this up.
The question is would folks understand to use CD1 only when there is a CD2 - perhaps that is even more confusing!?
I think what will happen a lot in the future is that people will enter either CD1 or CD2 not realising that they are part of a CD1/CD2 release. I entered a Hives CD last night and only when checking the release date on discogs did I find out that there was a CD1 to go along with it.
In saying all this it's a five second job to change CD to CD1, CD2 or whatever so perhaps I'm worrying over nothing! |

| | Just by pure coincidence I just added a Morrissey single that has a big "CD 1" sticker on the front. I'd have to say I'm with Dr.D on this in thinking CD1 / CD2 is the widely used and accepted term. A double cd would be labelled as 2CD - the second of a two part set is CD 2.
There doesn't appear to be a CD 1 option on the drop down list yet, though. If we can add something as "CD 2" shouldn't there also be a "CD 1" option ? |

| | Is anyone else confused? I thought it was a pretty widely used term.
If it only says CD2 in notes then you can't tell which is CD1 or CD2 when looking at the artist discography
I think it's handy to see at a glance which is CD1 and which is CD2
Any other opinions fellow mods?
I'll check your mod powers now leonard, you may have to log out and log in for them to start working.

| | You had to buy them separately, catalog number AND release date keep them together. I think it is best not to use CD2 as a format, because it's confusing. Putting in the notes: CD 2 Of A 2-Part CD Set is I think the best option and makes things clear enough.
And btw. can you mod me? |

| | I'd looked into this and CD2 seems to be the term that is used when two CDs are released at the same time (for maximum chart impact)
We haven't had any double CDs yet but when we do we may create a new type called 'Double CD' - which should make it clearer.
If you scroll down the Madonna CD singles on this specialist CD singles website - you can see how CD2 is used.
How else would you suggest doing it? Always happy to hear suggestions.

| | DD, you've entered this and several others as a CD2. Yet here is only 1 CD present, because for the sake of the charts it was issued in two parts (also submitted). If someone looks at this "set" I think they will be under the impression that there is one CD2 and one regular CD = total 3. The jewel box of one of the cd's was in most of these cases made to hold 2, but never sold as a double. What are we going to do with these? |
