	If a separate album track listing sub-template has been created, it may be added to the {{para\|tracks}} of the infobox. Using such a template may be more convenient for multi-disc albums or those with many tracks. A header with the album name will be automatically generated, along with the number of tracks.

	A second option does not require a separate album track listing sub-template to be created. Instead, the {{tl\|Hidden}} template is placed directly into the infobox in the {{para\|tracks}} field, then the tracks are listed.
