The "rules", rather guidelines, are funny indeed. Not only are they language dependent, they also vary with discipline. Personally, I focus on drawing less attention to the non-critical words (eg. the prepositions, non-specific articles, etc.), except when they are the first/last word of the title.
I wouldn't surprise me if these rules had their origins in early print, where capitalizing small words make the sentence look too cluttered and black; it is not easy for the brain to distinguish runs of short words, so deemphasizing non-critical parts of speech is the goal. I suppose in the end it doesn't matter too much, as you've discovered there are many variants in the various databases, which you have to correct manually for your needs. -- MrC ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23627 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
