Music sorting

I've been disputing this with a friend and began to wonder how everyone else sorts their music when a "featuring" artist is a part of the track.


So for example, if you put it with the song title it would look like this:

Song Title (feat. Artist) | Main Artist​

And if you put it with the main artist it would look like this:

Song Title | Main Artist (feat. Artist)​

Artist X - Song feat. Artist Y.mp3

Option 3 - no mention of the "featured" artist. I just file it under the "main" artist.

I know "Under Pressure" features David Bowie, I don't need the .mp3 to tell me that. I just file it under Queen.

This is what I do as well.

I picked Main Artist; in affected tracks in my collection, the Artist field reads "Main Artist feat. Guest Artist." However, the Album Artist will usually read "Main Artist".

On a related note:



The best featured artist in the music biz.

"I'm a guest star on my own album, y'all biscuitheads!"

I do it with song title.


That way, if I organize by artist, I'm not getting a song that's (primarily) by another artist mixed in.
