Now that using the SpecialPurposeArtist [data track] on VariousArtists albums is an OfficialStyleGuideline, there is an exception that might be worth making; if a data track contains MP3 or other audio files, it might be worth having the artist for those MP3 files (or VariousArtists, if there are several artists) as the artist for the data track. @alex

Having the artist of a (single) musical track on a GameDisc (like the FFVII (disc 3) example above) be the primary artist for the game itself does seem be a bit odd - I put the conversion of that album from VariousArtists up for vote and am willing to take the consensus in that case as the guideline for GameDiscs with a single audio track. @alex
