"Even though no footage was recorded, a Deluxe Blu-Ray will be released in the winter."

Original film score: ALWAYS film year, regardless of expansion or not
Re-recording: always year of re-recording

I set the Composer as the Album Artist, then Composer(s) and Conductor(s) for each track, as well as the usual Year and Genre (soundtracks). For song-scores, or compilations, I use Various.
 
So my file structure is: Album Artist \ Score \ track - track name.mp3
 
For pop songs I separately tag Artist (band), Composer / writer etc.

All the Mozart symphonies by Adam Fischer. I bow down to him and the wallet will be opened very shortly.

This album is a testament to the enduring legacy of John Williams' music and the remarkable artistry of Anne-Sophie Mutter and the Wiener Philharmoniker, who agreed to keep the flubs to a bare minimum for the occasion.

I can. I can honestly happily say that, while such sets would certainly be exciting, I don't need them at all. I don't plan on getting swept up in unreleased Star Wars or Indy music mania. Those days are over. Too much music to listen to anyway. One day, Mike will do them and then I'll sit back and enjoy it all.

Surely, they didn't understand what they said yes to.

It's not our fault that they took the decision to cancel AotC instead of doing it the right way.

Don’t go giving them ideas!

Sadly I'm not yet at the point where I can just laugh about this.

Artist = composer. Unfortunately. I think the player I use at home could use the composer tag instead of the artist tag, but most other software can't, and there's no standard album composer tag (as far as I know), and also… if I tag a Beethoven symphony with composer = Beethoven, artist = Karajan and a Beatles song with composer = Lennon/McCartney, artist = Beatles, I'd want to have my default view to list the classical album under the composer but the rock album under the artist, and I know no player that does that. So yes, the whole system is flawed, and *some* compromises have to me made.
 
I therefore usually tag the composer as artist and composer for classical/soundtracks, but the band/performer as artist and the actual composer as composer for rock stuff - if I'm not too lazy. I used to put all the individual performers in the comments section (that would allow me to filter by singer even with e.g. opera recordings that have 20+ individual artists), but unfortunately I got too lazy for that years ago. I do put the conductor (and if necessary the orchestra or the year) in the title for classical pieces, because it makes at least viewing and filtering easy, and I never want to sort by that info anyway.

My player/collection manager presents my albums in a tree that can be configured in many different ways. I always stick to the default - artist by alphabet on the first level, then albums by alphabet (excluding articles and the like). But it's easy to change the sorting to e.g. chronological, or albums or genres on the top level, or to filter by genre (but not enough of my albums have the genre tagged correctly for that to be of any use).
 
Listing, sorting, and filtering should be handled by the player software so you don't have to compromise by mis-tagging your files.

Please provide a source before Jay comes in and asks for it!

No jokes today, just an unfortunate apparent reality.

My ideal Never-Feast version would insert Cornucopia, but then continue the OST version unmodified. Best of both worlds.

Oh, yes it does, sorry, I was mixing things up. I had forgotten that Cornucopia itself was a cue as well and not just the insert.

I've heard an edit that does exactly that.  It's nice, sort of works as a concert arrangement, especially if you lop off the Cutting The Coconut cue

Not to me! The OST version is much choppier.
 
 
What I find kinda weird is that this is a huge, complex score with lots of themes, I've only watched the movie 3 times and heard the whole thing 4-6 times, all of those listens being in the last 4 months, and I already feel like I know it very well and largely grasp the structure. JW made it easily graspable despite its scale!

Why?
