Topic: CD with one track but multiple "tracks"
How ought I enter http://www.discogs.com/Various-Tekno-Ac … ase/138736 which has one single track on the disc but is a "DJ Mix" of 10 different songs?
Re: CD with one track but multiple "tracks"
Various Artists
If it is one track, enter as 1 track separating titles by /
With Joy (Joy-Orgasm-Youth) / Sandoz Tabman / etc.
mark the work as being a medley maybe.
This might help

Re: CD with one track but multiple "tracks"
Other option would probably be to enter it with the same title as the album and the DJ-Mixer as artist, and then maybe add all the tracks as standalone recordings and link them to it as "is a dj mix of"...

I would make as said Demono except I would create 10 works and make 10×recording is a recording of work relationships between the track and the 10 works.

Re: CD with one track but multiple "tracks"
Yeah, it makes sense with two or even three songs but with 10... it just becomes a mess.
Re: CD with one track but multiple "tracks"
OK, to make things worse. This isn't really a compilation, but a fake compilation. All the songs are really by Psychic TV. Should I go clean up all the credits on all the other places these tracks show up?
Re: CD with one track but multiple "tracks"
By fake compilation do you mean bootleg? We do still enter those into the database. If you know who the artist is and it is exactly their recording, then sure it should be added under the proper artists name.
Re: CD with one track but multiple "tracks"
No, it's not _REALLY_ a compilation. All of the "artists" are really just Psychic TV performing under half-a-dozen different names. It was designed to look like a compilation but in actuality isn't. Psychic TV did at least two of these. I've merged all the fake artists with Psychic TV (w/o tweaking credits). Since only this album and the two US versions are affected by this I went a little more exuberant than I normally would have been in the merges. For now I'm leaving it as "Various Artists" even though (after the merges settle) everything will ultimately point back to Psychic TV.
