i can't remember what i said at the time, but it strikes me that most media
library type mp3 applications (itunes, etc) wouldn't work so hot with that.
they sort primarily on artist, then album, track no., etc. if you had it as
"Artist (feat. Somedude)" then any affected tracks would appear outside of
all the others from that artist.
i do agree that "artist (feat. x) - songname"is the most logical way, and
that it is how our data should appear on the DB, *BUT* i think the tagger
should deal with such cases differently. perhaps even having as a user
preference setting to suit whatever kind of mediaplayer they are using.
