Was just curious how other people tag mix albums. For the longest time I was of the mind that a song on a mixed album isn't the same as the single version of it so when I tagged it I put the DJ in the artist field and the title field had the track artist and track title together. That was actually back when I used Winamp to manage my collection and it didn't expose an album artist field, so I felt forced to do this. Now I'm starting to think I should put the track artist in the artist field, track title only in the title field, and put the DJ in the album artist field. Thing is, I play my music now on my SqueezeBox and in my car and both can show tags, but not the album artist field, so I like to see I'm listening to the DJ version of a song as opposed to the original.
So what do you all do?
