So I'm basically taking my obsession with organizing my music to another level and need to know the rule for capitilizations in titles. I think it's something like everything but articles and prepositions... I've asked a bunch of people, but still no answer, so basically if nobody here knows, theres just no hope.
hmm I would guess its like titles of a book, but I dont know.
I usually capitalize every word except for "a" and "the".
iago doesn't know, all hope is lost. :(
EDIT: Got it:
- Always capitalize the first and the last word.
- Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions ("as", "because", "although").
- Lowercase all articles, coordinate conjunctions ("and", "or", "nor"), and prepositions regardless of length, when they are other than the first or last word.
- Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive.
ill have to remember that

I use a program I made a while ago to organize all my music. Let me know if you find something that needs changed in there so I can fix it :P
I capitalize the first letter of all words. Looks better that way.
However, I'm guessing the proper way is to do it as if it were a poem.

Saying to capitalize the last word is pretty redundant. No title should end with "the" or "a" or "to" or any of the little words.
In china they read left to right ???
What if the album or book was titled "Much to..." Hrmm!??!?! :)

That's tricky! By those rules, "Much To..." seems right, but that doesn't look right. :-/

Use to be right to left but for the most part they've switched to left to right.

That's why I just capitalize each word ;D No more headaches.
I Capitalize All My Words Too Because At One Point In Time I Used Vee Bee On A Daily Basis.
