Topic: Any plans to fix tracks with feat. Artist in title?

After tagging this album http://musicbrainz.org/release/e20053d1 … 6c9061a53b I found some tracks
CD1: 10 - Why Go (feat. Boy George) (radio edit)
CD2: 11 - All n My Grill (feat. MC Solaar) (edit)
who still has a featuring artist in the title (should be in the artist, right?)

Do we have to fix such titles manually or are there any plans that such tracks could be fixed automatically?

They can't be fixed automatically without guessing, in most cases, since the site can't know which is the right artist (and it's common that there are several artists with the same name on featurings)

With other words: It is up to me, if I make this fixes manually?

Yes it should be in the artist with the attachment of feat.
Yes it is going to have to be manually done.

As reosarevok said, it takes a human to be able to go through the artists and know which one of 5 bands that are all named the same performed on that particular song.

It also may not know if feat is part of the title, since not all feat are written the same way especially depending on the language.

Use these: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/117663 http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/117672

It's too painful to even bother any other way.

WOW! This userscript is incredible useful! Thank you very much voiceinsideyou, for the hint about this "addon". I did not know that it is possible to expand the functionality of a website.
