Checking a title
Album titles aren't protected by copyright, and many records share names. Still, search Spotify and Discogs: if a huge album already owns the title, yours will be hard to find.
Check before you commit
Tap Check on any name to search MusicBrainz, Apple Music, Wikipedia and domains, with links to Spotify, SoundCloud, handles and trademark registers.

Can two albums have the same name?
Yes; titles generally aren't copyrightable, and there are many duplicates. The practical issue is search: a famous album with the same title will bury yours.
Can I include a lyric or word of my own?
Yes. Type it in "Include a word" and every title in the batch will use it.
