[edit] Description

A TrackArtist is the Artist that appears in the "artist" field of a Track.

[edit] Additional information

Other artists associated with a track can be added using AdvancedRelationships (see SecondaryArtists for more details).

In most cases, the TrackArtist is the main attributed performer for that track. Note that classical music, and to some extent soundtracks, doesn't work that way and use the composer instead.

[edit] Example

• Bobby Hutcherson is the track artist for track Cirrus on release Blue Impressions: Blue Note Mix by DJ Mitsu the Beats by ReleaseArtist DJ Mitsu The Beats
