What is the difference between title and display name

I need the full name of a file (myFile.txt) and are looking at Title and Diaplay Name in MediaColumns. Can you tell me the difference between the two and when to use which?

MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE

This is the title of the media file you want to play, for example Westlife - My Love. Use it as the title of the media, i.e music title, video title, etc.

MediaStore.MediaColumns.DISPLAY_NAME

This is the full name of the file without its path, included its extension.

For example Westlife - My Love.mp3

For more information, see this reference.
