I was ripping a CD, and two releases matched the disc: Release “Recorder Suite in A minor / Viola Concerto / Tafelmusik” by Telemann; Capella Istropolitana, Richard Edlinger - MusicBrainz and https://musicbrainz.org/release/6f42adde-5d80-46c9-b221-e4b48f659811. This itself is not unusual, but what was unusual is that the track listings differed. In particular beginning at track 8 one has “Menuet I” and the other has “Menuet I & II”. The track titles then are then mismatched through track 12. I chose the one that matched the track list on the back of the jewel case, which had “Menuet I” for track 8. Then I listened to the tracks, and it was obvious that the track listing on the back of the jewel case was incorrect. Track 8 should be both “Menuet I & 2” despite what it says on the CD jewel case. Should I correct the track listing on https://musicbrainz.org/release/6f42adde-5d80-46c9-b221-e4b48f659811 and add an annotation, or should I leave it as printed on the release and add an annotation noting the error?

Style / Principle / Error correction and artist intent - MusicBrainz means our tracklists match the audio, not the cover art, when they conflict.
