I put the original artist in a ORIGARTIST tag instead, and use CustomScan to read that tag (and CustomBrowse to list "cover albums by orig artist" or "cover albums by covering artist"). I leave COMPOSER tags for classical music, never popular music. I wouldn't want to look for classical music grouped by composer, and find Bob Dylan albums. Additionally, a song could have been composed by artist X for artist Y, and artist Z may have covered it, in which case I tag the song with artist Z and origartist Y. But there's no right answer to tagging such things really. Using Custom Browse plugin, you can decide which artist roles to include in any menu (eg. make your own Album menu that will not include composers). _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/beta
