It is usually single-value and contains one name only. The Artist field would be used at track level to list all the artists collaborating on the track, such as with duets and contributions like the vocals. It would be multi-value and contain DJ Khalid; Katy Perry; Pharell Williams. Artist is also important for collections such as your run-of-the-mill Greatest Hits Of The Year album.

When I said On the Cover I meant on the cover on Sleeve (i,e front or back). So yes track artist can be multi value, but it usually clearly stated on the cover if the track artist is different to the album artist (which for most releases it is not). The key thing is the liner notes may well additionally credit everyone involved on each track (i.e drummer, keyboards ectera) but you wouldnt add them all to each track artist. In contrast Classical music doesnt really have this distinction there is not a clear 'track artist' so you have to decide what the track artist to represent, probably a combination of Solo Performers, Orchestra, Conductors, Composer etc.

Pepsican Wrote:MP3Tag also has facilities to auto-fill tags with values.

Great, but can it say 'set Track Artist to Composer but only if the release is a Classical release'.
