How do you guys tag your flac and mp3 files? Tagging songs with multiple artists or compilation albums (movie soundtracks) with different years for each track is a pain in the ass (and to keep your music player sorting them properly)
heres what i do
%title% <- track title without featured artist's name or any of that "ft." bullshit
%artist% <- featured artist
%albumartist% <- actual artist of the track
%composer% <- producer or co-producer of track
%albumcomposer% <- the producer that produced most of the tracks on the album
%date% <- year the album was released
%trackdate% <- year the track was initially released if part of a compilation
What do you fellas do? Also what players do you use - I use deadbeef.
would really appreciate any insight on how other people tag their music and if theres anything better i can be doing that will make things easier
also i only use ft. if an album contains two artists throughout with one being more dominant.
i like to keep all my kanye albums together.

I try to follow the musicbrainz recommendations. Using the artist field for a track's featured artist is stupid and wrong.

>%artist% <- featured artist
>%albumartist% <- actual artist of the track
You've got these flipped around.
people mostly use only artist field and albumartist left empty or the same as artist field
Use MusicBrainz Picard.
thanks for the suggestions guys :)

Meta tags are gay and I don't use them. I organize songs in folders like God intended.
