Getting Rid of Featuring Artist Style
This page tries to sum all problems of and possible solutions to the FeaturingArtistStyle.
The idea to create this page comes from a post from DonRedman on mb-users (start of discussion here).
Problems with the current Guideline
The current FeaturingArtistStyle has a couple of severe issues. This section should identify them:
- Applying FeaturingArtistStyle makes information disappear. Converting A & B - Track Name to A - Track Name (feat. B) doesn't necessarily mean artist A is the primary artist and B is a sort of guest artist.
- A search for A & B doesn't list artists that have tracks Track Name (feat. B).
- ...
On the other hand the current Guideline is not completely void of sense. the pro's for it are:
- The herarchy between the CoreEntities Artist-Album-Track is kept (well, at the expense of one artist being completely dropped out of this hierarchy). Most media players categorize tracks this way.
- ...
Proposed Solutions
This section should help to get a cleareer picture of the proposed solutions and their inconvenients. IIRC there are two possible solutions:
- Store all performance roles with AdvancedRelationships of the PerformanceRelationshipClass.
- Create ArtistCooperation
s for "A feat. B" and relate tracks to this artist by means of the CoreRelationship (that is store it as the PrimaryArtist). - ...(are there more proposals?)
Now we would need to describe these proposals in detail and then sum up all arguments for and against them.
