The filter CD options does not have a “CD Title” field which would definitely help. Personally I would prefer the CD Albums to be set the same as all the other “Worlds” recorded formats. The “Europe” and “International” countries are becoming a nightmare. We have so many with “Manufactured in XXX” where the X’s are either EU, Austria or Germany that get officially released by the major company in countries outside of Europe. Here we get one member insisting it be entered as Europe whereas another member wants International since their country is outside of Europe. Should “Europe” and “International” options remain there needs to be an option “Add Another Country” which would open three extra fields for the contributing member: a) Country of Release; b)Release Date (for that country); c) Cat # (as used for that country by the record company). These would need to have a “Note” detailing the official release publication for that country. Let us not forget that an initial entry for a title would be “your country” since you don’t know where else in the world it may have been released. Until somebody from another country in the world has the same title, barcode, etc, then “your country” would be edited to one of the two multi national options.
