So if there's no featured soloist then it would fall back on the orchestra or the conductor. But there is no other field for the soloists like there is for the conductor and the performing group.

Adrian Belew . Ton Koopman for the same set of music (Ton Koopman being the harpsichord player on the album of Bach fugues). What I don't like to see is: . Daniel Barenboim . Ludwig van Beethoven . Berlin Philharmonic . Cake . Dire Straits . Yo-Yo Ma . Itzhak Perlman . Berlin Philharmonic Where I only have 3 albums, and 6 out of the 8 entries come from the same classical album. > Did you try the settings on the server for tossing Composer, > Band/Orchestra, and Conductor into the general 'contributor' table?I saw that > and based on the description it seems to form a union of all the boxes you check, and you end up with a list like my last example above. If I wanted that kind of mish-mash, I can achieve it more easily by including the soloist, composer, orchestra, and composer in the ARTIST field separated by a '/'. > TPE4 isn't used right now, though I only have a few cases where that > would be nice.I have a few too, and in most of them I just include it in the > song title.
