Yes, it is agnostic as to who is featuring whom: Including "feat." is misleading for classical. (But if we kept the ordering we're used to, someone could probably do a few sql commands to replace all "feat. " with "," - or with nothing if the "feat. " was in front. For artists who are classical composers, of course.) > > Do we still want to specify roles? > > Symphonies Nos. 1, 2 (Conductor: Bruno Walter, Columbia Symphony Orchestra) > > somehow the "feat." does seem to make "Conductor:" a little more graceful. > But it might also make sense to just get rid of the roles. Good point: We don't really need roles. Especially since we have ARs doing a much better job for this.
