Beatles, The
Petty, Tom
The reason for doing this in alphabetical lists is obvious, but I don't
think that reasoning applies to CDindex, because we only use the artist
data in one of two ways:
1. Common - Output as a result in a database search or in response to a
request from a remote CD client.
2. Uncommon - Part of a search term from the main site
My suggestion would be (given for a moment that we have the time to go
through 5000 existing entries and fix those which need changing) that
we ask users to enter Artist Names, Track Titles and Albums as close to
how they are written on the CD (box) as possible.
--In the future of course, the artists thing needs to be more flexible and powerful, but that's a much harder long term thing I think.
