iTunes is not considered as a(n) official/valid reference since long time ago as it is only a platform to sell works/music. The only situation we treat iTunes as valid is there is no other official information regarding the song at all and obviously, your map isn't the case here.
So, unfortunately, I have to disqualify your map. Please fix it using whatever I have mentioned in p/5202035 , poke me if you need me.
Amazon, same case as iTunes, a third-party platform selling works/music. I'd say they are indirect sources of the artist/CD publisher, while mine are all directly quoted from 3beat records or the artist themselves. This is the distinct difference.Cryptic wrote:

I think I have answered your question. What you link is not official since the beginning. By official, we mean anything published by the official on the web directly.Cryptic wrote:
I guess my overall question is, at what point does an "offical" source become less reliable than "unofficial" sources and why is that not the case here?
No, I got that part. The one thing I really wanted to know is why do we have to consider 3 different metadata variations from the official sources correct when the distributor/seller's metadata is consistent within themselves? Aren't record labels more likely to make sure their music goes to the websites with correct naming/formatting compared to when they just post it to their website for display?IamKwaN wrote:

So, when there is nothing official related to the song, iTunes/Amazon can be used as a fallback.
I hope I have explained this concept clearly.
aww sorry, I have no idea about this to be honest, so I cannot comment lolCryptic wrote:

Yeah, I think I'm going to do some research on this because I think that would make sense, but who knows?IamKwaN wrote:
