BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'm talking about the 'Artist' tag on your mp3s. Do you name the composer or the guy conducting? I'm personally mixed, where I tag John Debney or Erich Kunzel for their rerecordings but I name Ottman for Superman Returns (instead of that Intradabartolo something fella). How about you?

Admiral Holdo 16 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Always the composer. He's the one who wrote the music, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well, I always use both the "composer" tag and the "artist" tag. So composer always goes in the former tag, obviously. And they usually go in the artist tag as well unless there is someone else, like a conductor, soloist, singer, etc., in which case I put them.

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 but then there is also an entry for 'Composer' no? Thats where I put the original composer when it comes to rerecordings, and songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Fett 0 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I always put composer as the artist. I don't use the composer tag that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsp3studio 1 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I always do it by composer, although I do have some Goldsmith listed under Williams to distinguish the recordings of the same pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,573 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Quite often I use the orchestra in the "artist" column (assuming it is an orchestra and not just session players), but most of the time the composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Composer_Fan 2 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I keep my iTunes simple, so I don't use the "Composer" section. I just credit John Williams. His name appears in the Artist column most of the time when I get the info from the CDDB or whatever it's called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,706 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I also mostly use the "Artist" section in itunes.K.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I have the arist set as the composer - so all my Williams CDs are together in iTunes when I sort by artist. If there is a soloist, or someone else very significent, I put them in the track title, for example the Gerhardt recording of Citizen Kane has the "Aria from Salaambo" under Artist: Bernard Herrmann, and track title "Aria from Salaambo (soloist: Kiri Te Kanawa)".

Pieter Boelen 746 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I put the composer as Artist and in Composer I put a category name, such as "John Williams", "Jerry Goldsmith" or "Other Composers". That way I don't have too many different composers in my composers list and I still see the actual composer when I play the track. I don't put the conductor, soloists or orchestra anywhere in the tracks. Apart from songs: I put the soloist as Artist there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 566 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Composer is always listed as artist, except for the Gerhardt Star Wars re-recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 With those, I just put Gerhardt's name in the album title. For re-recordings, I put the score title, then the conductor in brackets (unless it's conducted by the composer, in which case I just put "re-recording"). So for the Gerhardt Star Wars albums, I have "Star Wars (Gerhardt)", "Empire Strikes Back, The (Gerhardt)", etc. Alfred Newman - Wuthering Heights (Bernstein) 8O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 4,168 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I always put the composer in the artist tag, original recording or not.The only exception is if I decide to include a song amongst/at the end of the score, in which case the song artist gets it.
