a) if the act is very clearly a duo-act-where-they-always-use-their-other-artist-names ("Dense & Pika") then it gets its own artist

b) if they just sometimes put out records together, and it's not specified on the art or release copy, default to "&" to separate ("Snoop Dogg" & "Dr. Dre")

c) if it's specified on the art, use what the art says, except maybe "feat." instead of "Featuring" (I don't know the actual canonical rule here, but think this is ok)

on point C, feat. doesn't get standardized in MusicBrainz. that said, I think there is a Picard plugin if you need it in your file tags

derwin, so based on those rules, do you think it is reasonable that the case I provided links for is as silly-looking as it currently is? :)

But you can make Picard standardize it IIRC

[02:10] derwin c) if it's specified on the art, use what the art says, except maybe "feat." instead of "Featuring" (I don't know the actual canonical rule here, but think this is ok)
2025-02-13 04400, 2025

actually that was rescinded, (use what's on the cover, don't change "featuring" to "feat." atomaticlaly)
2025-02-13 04422, 2025
Jigen
it *used to be* that way
2025-02-13 04439, 2025
Jigen
but, iirc I actually was the one to raise the question with te community and reo abt it
2025-02-13 04439, 2025
Jigen
and it was decided that standardising only on this *one* thing was silly (this was changed becasue we had for a time used all other kinds of "on the cover" for a while, like "with" "med" other languages)
2025-02-13 04438, 2025
Jigen
still, i believe "Feat" should be standardised to "feat."? I'm not totally sure.
2025-02-13 04438, 2025
Jigen
also we do standardise "vs" "Vs" and "V.S." to "vs." ?

I guess adding the punctum could count as "spelling mistake correction" 🤔

We don't generally standardize link phrases anymore
2025-02-13 04407, 2025
reosarevok[m]
Also, no period is the correct British way, period the US way, AFAIU
reosarevok[m], not standardizing link phrases seems a bit silly (since it can cause the same collaboration to look like they are several different artists, thus being harder to find all of those while searching the datadase) but I assume this has been discussed at large before so... OK :)

@kirvesAxe: the database is smart enough to keep track of this, and for your local player that might not be smart enough you can choose to standardize the join phrase in the Picard options
