I saw a number of things on the wiki, from "create a new artist called <artist1> & <artist2>" to "Add the first one as the artist, but name it "<artist1> & <artist2>""
Grooveshark Found Guilty of Massive Copyright Infringement
2014-10-01 27426, 2014
CallerNo6
The general idea is oldtopman for some [artist1]<and>[artist2] situations, you'd create a new artist "artist1 & artist2". If the collaboration is fairly stable, like Simon & Garfunkel.
" The court was presented with piles of evidence that Grooveshark not only knew about infringing content on its site (who wouldn’t), but willfully uploaded infringing content onto its servers and ordered employees to do the same or face penalties. "

Since copyright is magic, I understand this to mean "Grooveshark was found guilty of practicing magic incorrectly"
2014-10-01 27414, 2014

hey, incorrectly practising magic can be very dangerous.

get nasty explosions, summons from parallel universes, washbasins falling from the sky, etc.

If Grooveshark did those things, then they must pay. Pay a terrible price.

(and they should be forced to pick up all the washbasins and haul them to the dump)

the song with the symbol is the right song but it doesnt seem to like the length.....
2014-10-01 27432, 2014
CallerNo6
oldtopman: artist credits (in this context) are a way to show an artist's name as it appears on a specific release, if there's slight variation. It also lets you link multiple artists' names into one credit.

2014-10-01 27416, 2014

oldtopman: that gives you the interface for editing what MB calls "artist credits". You can do one of two things:
2014-10-01 27453, 2014
oldtopman
Add a new credit, set the join phrase, and add the new artist?
2014-10-01 27454, 2014
CallerNo6
1: you can change the artist's name as it appears on the release. This would be for minor things like a middle initial or "Jim" vs "James" or something.

Can I save to this album? (it's a test album, right?)
2014-10-01 27436, 2014

You can save as long as you haven't added a real artist, because it will show up in the real artist's discography.
2014-10-01 27451, 2014

2. you've already figured out two :-)

edits go into a queue to be voted on. if you get three unanimous votes, your edit will pass or fail. if not, it will pass in 7 days if no=0 or no<yes.
2014-10-01 27409, 2014

so worst case scenario, 7 days.
