How Do You Tag/Catalog Your mp3's When Artist Change Their Name?

[Danny Up]

Like do you have a Snoop Dogg, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Snoop Lion or all they tagged under one name?

Lil J, Young Jeezy, Jeezy
Styles, Styles P
The Game, Game
Baby, Birdman
Tity Boi, 2 Chainz
Tha Dogg Pound, DPG, DPGC
Chinx Drugz, Chinx
Tah Murdah, Cadillac Tah
Hot Totti, Vita

I leave them as what I know them as/what name they came in the game with. Lol @ having Doggystyle under Snoop Lion


I did remove the hyphen for Hov though

 

[FloorGeneral]

Everything gets tagged under one name (Snoop Dogg, Young Jeezy, Tha Dogg Pound, etc.). I could care less about these rappers having an identity crisis and changing their name. My library is big enough as it is without having to chase down 2 or 3 different names when I want to listen to something.

Depends, like all of Snoop's ish i kept it as whatever it came in as...however, everything DPG, is Tha Dogg Pound and Game is The Game and Jeezy is Young Jeezy

 

[SoulController]

use what was used on that particular project

 

[DaveyDave]

I have the artist as whatever the name is for that album and have all their albums grouped in album artist usually under whatever their first name was or what they are known as most.

All of Snoops stuff is grouped together under Snoop Doggy Dogg, if I had a bunch of Diddy albums they would be grouped under Puff Daddy etc

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

i keep them all the same. 7 Days of Funk becomes Snoop Dogg. Snoop Lion also becomes Snoop Dogg.

Jay-Z keeps the hyphen

 

[desp]

It depends... I keep Snoop Dogg and Lion separate because he still drops hip hop releases under Snoop Dogg, MF DOOM's albums are all tagged under their respective alias, same with Kool Keith. But if we're talking about straight name changes (The Game to Game, Young Jeezy to Jeezy) I tag their old music with the new name too.

 

[Hades]

I'll use MF DOOM as an example.

There's MF DOOM and then the multiple aliases, King Geedorah, Viktor Vaughn etc.

So I'll put "MF DOOM (Viktor Vaughn)" in the artist field and then have "MF DOOM" in the "album artist" field.

That's puts them all in the same folder and under the same artist and it reads as

MF DOOM
MF DOOM (Vik)
MF DOOM (King Geedorah) etc on the ipod for easy differentiation.
