+1.
Tim: what problem are you trying to solve? That your digital music player
only offers an Artist and a Title field, and your collection has some
entries which are indistinguishable using just these two fields? Then there
are a number of ways you can address that problem. In addition to what Jan
said, you could perhaps switch to a different music player, which can take
advantage of more metadata tags and display more fields.
Music metadata is complex and varied. It won't fit in simple-minded Artist
and Title text strings in any satisfactory way. I think it's MusicBrainz's
job to store the real information in all it's detail and complexity. It's
the job of the taggers and other exporters to flatten this information to
fit the constraints of music players, other databases, and so on.
