Agree with all the other posts; there's no right or wrong way, but here's some 
additonal ideas:

1) Have unique artist names, but use BAND for artist display name.

Put the real artist name as you would like it displayed within a BAND tag, and 
use the real artist name in the ARTIST tag.
Configure SBS/LMS to list albums by BAND, but not include BAND in the list of 
artists.

eg:

ALBUM=Snappy Doo
ARTIST=James Morrison (Jazz)
BAND=James Morrison

ALBUM=Undiscovered
ARTIST=James Morrison (Singer songwriter)
BAND=James Morrison

This would mean that you would see "James Morrison (Jazz)" and "James Morrison 
(Singer songwriter)" in the list of artists, but on the now playing screen, you 
would see "James Morrison".


2) Not bother with making unique artist names, and simply browse by genre to 
find the correct James Morrison albums.

ALBUM=Snappy Doo
ARTIST=James Morrison

ALBUM=Undiscovered
ARTIST=James Morrison

Browse Genres > Jazz > James Morrison   -    would only list the Snappy Doo 
album.
Browse Genres > Singer Songwriter > James Morrison   -   would only list the 
Undiscovered album.

(not good if you could ever have two artists with the same name producing the 
same genre of music!).
