Particularly in dance, hip-hop and classical music, there may be multiple
performers in addition to multiple non-performing producers and songwriters
(already listed as 'composers').
It should be possible to use Clementine to store these details in the tags
of the various file formats.
In Windows Media Player and foobar2000 (and possibly Jaikoz), contributing
artists are separated by a semicolon. Clementine should have the ability to
read the tags that have been saved in these programs.
For instance:
Lady GaGa ft. Beyonce - Telephone (DJ Dan Vocal Remix) (2009) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_%28song%29 http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=LADY%20GAGA&search_in=a&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=30&start=1 Artist / Album Artist: Lady GaGa
Contributing Artists: Beyonce; DJ Dan; Darkchild
Composers: Stefani Germanotta; Beyonce Knowles; Daniel Wherrett; Rodney
Jerkins, LaShawn Daniels, Lazonate Franklin
Producers: Rodney Jerkins
Also, consider the case of artists who have recorded under several
different names, such as Robert Pollard/Guided By Voices, Prince or Final
Fantasy. His first two studio albums were released as Final Fantasy but his
latest was released as Owen Pallett. He has also composed string
arrangements for various artists. Consider the following album:
Arcade Fire - Funeral (2004)
Album Artist: Arcade Fire
Composers: Win Butler; Regine Chassagne; Richard Reed Parry; Sarah Neufeld;
Owen Pallett
Producers: Win Butler; Regine Chassagne; Richard Reed Parry; Sarah Neufeld
And then we move on to the Wu-Tang Clan and The Polyphonic Spree ;-)
