I am using Mp3tag to tag all my files. At first I was going to take a
comprehensive approach and use all of the following to sort of future
proof myself (even so far as copying all the mood definitions from
AMG):

The default tags:

Title
Artist
Album
Year
Track
Genre
Comment

Extended Tags:

ARTISTSORT
ALBUMARTIST
ALBUMARTISTSORT
ALBUMSORT
STYLE
MOOD
DISCNUMBER
COMPILATION (usually left blank)

I've done a good deal of searching on this forum and found several
threads discussing tagging and the use of sort fields. Just as I think
I have it understood, I find myself confused again.

Can someone explain how the tags would actually manifest in real usage?
Meaning visually on a squeezebox server device like the Touch and more
importantly, how they would work on the Squeezebox Server Web Interface
when browsing by artist, album, etc...?


I would like for albums such as to appear under Tom Petty's album.

What's the approach to tag albums with multiple artists or a lead band
member and his band?

Stan Getz & João Gilberto - -Getz/Gilberto-?
Keith Jarrett/Charlie Haden - -Jasmine-
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - -Are You Experienced- 
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - -Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers-
John Coltrane Quartet - -Ballads-
The Crow - Soundtrack
