Maybe it's worth to think to add a column "Performer". It's important for the "various artist" compilations (soundtracks, etc.) where very often are different performers. Now there is a big number of such compilations and in my opinion together with title it's necessary to add performer.

For albums by 'Various Artists', I'm happy for the artist to be filled out as part of the track name e.g. A Song - An Artist. At some stage, we could add artists in for each track but that requires adding an additional field and there might be quite a few artists not in BEA's database that appear on compilation albums and we'd need some way of adding those to the database before they can appear in a track listing. I'm happy to do this at some stage, but it's quite a big change to implement (350,000 existing tracks to update). It's definitely something that could be added in 2013, once the decks have been cleared a bit. (Anything by Various Artists can be back-filled once the new field has been added).
