    Songs with multiple artists

    Anyone know of a good way to organize music with multiple artist in the id3 tag?

    Ideally I think I'd want something where if a song has ArtistA/ArtistB listed in the Artist field of the ID3 tag then the song would be put in the ArtistA\Albumname folder then a shortcut to that file would be placed in the ArtistB\Albumname folder..currentline itunes makes a ArtistA&ArtistB\AlbumName folder

    Then I'd want my front end to be able to recognize shortcuts to music files and play them...

    this is one of the reasons ID3 sucks monkey ***.
    what i do is, at the time of ripping the CD, i make the artist for every track be only one person, and set the file name to include whoever is featured on the song. That way all the tracks stay with the album they belong to, and if i really want to know who the other person is on the song i can check the file.

    but since 80% of my music is hiphop i rarely have to actually check someones name, as every other line some **** is saying his name is Mike Jones, lol.
