if we don't want ws/1 compatibility i would favour to move "feat." also on  
tracklvl to the artist credits, away from the title field.

these are some nice examples!
1. compilation where the artist is credited on every track, and if there  
is a feat. artist it's next to the main artist.
2. a single artist cd, where there is no column for the artist (because of  
obvious reasons). however the feat. artist can't be appended to the artist  
here so it is written in parenthesis AND with smaller fontsize thus making  
it clearly separated from the track title. so beside that i think that we  
should credit/link featured artists properly also on track-lvl i do think  
that in most of these cases the feat. should not be part of the tracktitle  
in most occasions. if the feat. artist is not in parentheses and written  
in the same size/style as the rest of the track i would keep it in the  
tracktitle.
