I like performers as artists but as it has been pointed out, it get tricky when a large group of people perform a song -- who gets credited? I suppose whoever is printed on the cover, that's who. If someone wants to see composers in their tags, I suggest they setup PicardQt to set the Artist field equal to the Composer field when ReleaseType = Soundtrack. -Aaron _______________________________________________ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style
