So, I don't know. My only argument about being more specific in classifying was trying to keep a "manageable" number of Classifications. If we relax that restriction, we are free to add a lot more. This might help with some of the objections to the use of the Vocal classification. I'll propose something to start discussion:

Remaster - music improved for the soundtrack release
"Demaster" - whatever you call this, where the music was downgraded, sequenced, after composition. I'd need Datschge to help come up with a name and a description for it.

Prototype
Unused
"Image" - Honestly, I don't know if this isn't covered by some others

Vocal Arrange
Synth Vocal - Vocaloids fit here
OP Theme
ED Theme
Character Song
Commercial Song
Image Song - I guess this is a catch-all for the rest, like the albums Seanne mentioned

Licensed
Unlicensed - (For illegal use of licensed work? Like the Ending Theme by Toto from the 1st Dune Movie, which can be found on one of the Farland enclosures
Derivative Work - Incorporation of older game themes, or classical music

Game-Related - For everything else vaguely related to games, but somehow miraculously not covered by all these categories.

Of course, I still don't know if one of these categories fits FFXIII.....
