Who do you give credit to?

[BurgaFlippinMan 7]

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]

Always the composer. He's the one who wrote the music, after all.

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

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]

but then there is also an entry for 'Composer' no? Thats where I put the original composer when it comes to rerecordings, and songs.

[Indiana_Fett 0]

I always put composer as the artist. I don't use the composer tag that often.

[rsp3studio 1]

I always do it by composer, although I do have some Goldsmith listed under Williams to distinguish the recordings of the same pieces.

[Docteur Qui 1,575]

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.

[Composer_Fan 2]

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.

[King Mark 3,730]

I also mostly use the "Artist" section in itunes.

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 769]

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.

[Mr. Breathmask 566]

Composer is always listed as artist, except for the Gerhardt Star Wars re-recordings.

[robthehand 3]

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

[Ollie 1,162]

Composer.

[Richard P 4,265]

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.

[Red 75]

Composer for me as well.

[Alejandro 28]
