Same but different…it’s a musician thing 💅
Album versions are there to help you mark a difference between different versions of the same album.
Using a title version means you can have multiple releases uploaded to RouteNote with the same title, which stores would not allow otherwise.
For example, all of these releases would be accepted by our partner stores because they have correctly formatted title versions:
Release title: Dark Side Of The Moon
Title Version:
Release title: The Dark Side Of The Moon
Album title version: 2011 Remastered Version
Release title: The Dark Side Of The Moon
Album title version: Deluxe Edition
To edit your Title Version on your release, you’ll need to be logged into your RouteNote account. Open your release within your discography and click on Album Details.
From here, you’ll be able to edit your Album Version which is your title version for the whole release.
Don’t forget to click Save and Continue at the bottom of the page!
Choose your title version wisely…
Incorrect information within the Title Version field might be:
- Duplicates of track titles.
- Artist names, often producers or composers.
- Remixer formatting.
There are specific requirements about how remixer artists are credited – they can’t go in the title version. - Cleaned/ non-explicit/ explicit status.
For example, please DON’T use:
- Original mix
- Copy of the track title
- URLs
- Cover by…
Examples of title versions you CAN use:
- Live
- Remaster
- Deluxe version
- New version
- Old version
