Just a question: the album front is official?
It seems just the game fictional front cover...and the album (wich is digital) doesn't come with any cover at all attached to it.

It's the cover used by the Publisher himself (Sumthing Else)
Since it's a digital only album (and for 2$), they probably not wanted to create a quality cover for it.
We can consider it "official" since again it's the one used by the publisher.

Okay so...I've bought the soundtrack from Sumthing Else, and the mp3s have "Dark Void Zero Original Video Game Soundtrack" in the album field.

That's an interesting twist. When we were discussing the title guidelines, we didn't consider that digital albums might have tags that differ from other sources. Everything is different with digital releases it seems. It should at least be an alternate title for now.

Good point. Similar case here.

So, it looks like the precedent is to use the ID tags as the display title.

Unfortunately not all the digital soundtracks have enough documentation about "official" names.

Is also to note that every track of the soundtrack has in the ID the track number before the title, i.e. "02 Valley of Doom", but to be honest I've "corrected" them in my musical archive :P

Personally, I think the title from front cover should have priority. But it's a good question to be discussed.

Yeah, the problem is that the game cover doesn't properly exists in this case...
