Well, if that were the way GC worked, it could be lived with. However, it's not. GC doesn't turn everything in [] to lowercase - that would be quite handy for [Introduction] and [Encore Break]. Instead, GC capitalizes everything in [] as normal, but then applies lowercase only to the ETI () specific words (version, live, edit, and all the others). So right now, it's the worst of both worlds - it can't be depended on to turn everything [lowercase], nor does it leave everything [English case]; it's instead a [English case with incorrect ETI casing].

This is pretty much impossible to fix properly because guess case has no way of knowing whether the square brackets contain descriptive text (e.g. "[crowd noise]") or an unofficial title. If the current titles are anything to go by, the former is far more common (after excluding [unknown], [untitled] and [silence], there are 13,600 tracks, of which 4300 contain capital letters).
