Hi,
Because I want the composer to show up in both the ARTIST and ALBUM-ARTIST, I think am going to add him/her to both fields. Originally, I was only going to have the ARTIST (eg. Berlin Philharmonic) in the ARTIST field. But, having experimented with searching (eg. in foobar), I don't think I would ever search for (say) Beethoven's Fifth Symphony via the ARTIST (eg. Berlin Philharmonic).
And so, this would entail two names being present in the ARTIST tag:
ARTIST = New Vienna String Quartet; Arnold Schoenberg
(and, ALBUM-ARTIST = Arnold Schoenberg)
And, similarly:
ARTIST = Johann Sebastian Bach; Keith Jarrett
(and, ALBUM-ARTIST = Johann Sebastian Bach)
Therefore, Schoenberg/Bach (the composers) appear in both ARTIST and ALBUM-ARTIST fields.
Do you think that this would be an OK system, please? Or would you not place the composer in both ARTIST and ALBUM-ARTIST? It kinda breaks the mould with what I have done throughout the tagging in my Jazz and Pop genres; but then again, it may be case of having to make some exceptions for Classical.
Cheers.
