OK, the 3 Friends "The One With All the Babies/Weddings/Birthdays" Collections compilations from 2006 are not in the database, surprisingly. I am going to add 2 of them that I bought, but am confused what the correct title should be based on the cover art:

1) Friends: The One With All the XXX
2) Friends: The One With All the XXX, edition: Friends Collection
3) Friends Collection: The One With All the XXX
4) The One With All the XXX, edition: Friends Collection
5) Friends: The One With All the XXX: Friends Collection

Here is an example of the artwork for one of them. All 3 have similar artwork.

I think I would opt for #2, for what it's worth.

In my opinion, it would have to be #4 if we were to follow the same reasoning as we did with regards to the Walt Disney Treasures (#3 is my personal preference)

I'd use 1 locally, but I think 4 follows the rules.

For the online, I'd say either 3 or 4, as you could argue for both of them going by the dvd cover rule.
Personally, I prefer 3.

If these are part of the TV series, you have only to fhis rule: for each of them:
Quote:
Title
The title for a Box Set should be the title listed on the Front Cover; for example The Andy Griffith Show.  Season indicators, if listed on the cover, should be entered as part of the title, not the description.  e.g. Angel: The Complete First Season.

Friends:
Season: if present (Season indicators if listed on the cover (anywhere on the cover, they should be included else no Season indicator))
Box title: The One With All the Babies
Box title: The One With All the Weddings
Box title: The One With All the Birthdays

option 4 defenitly a big NO NO: Friends can't be in the edition field!
Collection is most likely for the edition field.
that would make it option 1) and eventualy Edition: Collection.

edit: I gues there are more episodes on this dvd so no episode title.

Giga: Collection of what? The word collection without a reference makes no sense to me.

then you should leave it out, if it makes no sense.
Collection should not be in the title field, or close to Friends. It is not the Friends Collection.

It's either #3 or #4. Technically, I think the rules dictate using #4: IMHO, the cover (and the spine, for that matter) clearly shows us a title ("The One with All the XXX") and an edition ("Friends Collection"). The latter is even shown in some kind of "banner" format, as editions often are. But I do understand why some of us would prefer #3. I really don't think any of the other variants can be used, though.

"Friends Collection" is not a season indicator, so there's nothing wrong with putting it in the edition field. Though I still prefer the idea of putting it at the front of the title instead.

Ehm... I'm sorry, but it IS the Friends Collection. It says so right there on the cover! How can you possibly say that it isn't?

especially when there are several titles in this "Friends Collection" as the OP pointed out:

Quote:
OK, the 3 Friends "The One With All the Babies/Weddings/Birthdays" Collections compilations


Thus this is a "Friends Collection" containing three different titles

The One With All the Babies
The One With All the Weddings
The One With All the Birthdays
