How would you tag a VA album that is a tribute? Ie, "I'm Your Fan" (see earlier link to MB entry), or "The Last Waltz" by The Band (should be AA: The Band, with individual tracks set to track artist), "The 30th Anniversary Celebration" Dylan tribute concert.... Again, I use AA as "where this would be in a record store". In the case of a single-artist tribute, yes, it is probably correct to put it in the 'bin' of the single artist. In the case of a VA album, however, it would be filed in the bin of the tributee. The question was regarding compilations not single artists. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75308 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
