If a track has two songs, '''Song A''' by '''Artist A''' and '''Song B''' by '''Artist B''', it is highly recommended to make '''Artist A''' the [[Track Artist|TrackArtist]] and '''Song A / Artist B - Song B''' the [[Track Title|TrackTitle]]. This way, no bogus [[Artist]]s are created. ''Artist A / Artist B'' as [[Track Artist|TrackArtist]] would imply both artists collaborated in some way; for these tracks, that is not the case.

Sometimes, a release includes songs by more than one artist in one single track (one after the other - for mashups, see the mash-up guidelines. In most cases, it will be only two songs, one by each artist: just separate the titles with / ("Title 1 / Title 2") and use the artist credit system to make the artist also "Artist 1 / Artist 2".

Before we could do this, we used to store these with "Title 1 / Artist 2 - Title 2" as the title, and Artist 1 as artist. There is a list of a lot of places where this was done below, feel free to fix them and remove them from the list!

BEWARE: It is very well possible that some tracks on the releases listed below are actually mash-ups instead of tracks with multiple artists. This needs to be sorted out.
