By chance, does anyone have a list of Artists that have specific punctuation. For example, UB40, 2Pac, etc. I have a program I use to format my music and want to try and catch as many exceptions as possible. Thanks for your help!!
Such a list is nearly impossible.
The main reasons are:
a) No one has a complete list about βallβ artists in the world
b) No one can say for sure if an imprint on a release cover is just a fancy design joke or really the origin artist intent
c) Even if you find that 2Pac should be written with lower case βacβ in general, you can not be absolutely sure if the artist wanted his name written as - for one or more specific releases - 2PAC or 2pac or 2PaC.
What you can do:
Check your own existing artists here on MusicBrainz how he/she write the name currently.
