Hi,  
Some tags are way too long. For example:  
Johnny And The Screaming Purple Machines - His Mother Left Him When He Was Only Six - I Knew I Should Have Gone Back Home When She Said So.

So to save space I would like to have only the first letter and Proper names of an album title and song title capitalized.  
In other words

David Blabla - Singing Songs In A New York Park - Walking With Mary On The Streets Of Madison Avenue

Or

DAVID BLABLA - SINGING SONGS IN A NEW YORK PARK - WALKING WITH MARY ON THE STREETS OF MADISON AVENUE

Or

david blabla - singing songs in a new york park - walking with mary on the streets of madison avenue

Would be changed to:

David Blabla - Singing songs in a New York park - Walking with Mary on the streets of Madison avenue

As you can see the words that are now capitalized are only: the first letter of each group and proper names.

What I have done, and am asking, is, if this were regular writing, say a school paper, then what is capitalized is only the first letter of a sentence and proper names. Hence what I'm asking (Yes I know in proper grammar a title would all be capitalized)

Thank you
