The OC ReMiX albums have collabs on a song-by-song basis, not an entire album worth of material. There is very few overlaps of collabs with these albums (like, Remixer A and Remixer B may collab for one song, and if they do it again, it might include Remixer C, which would be a whole new “artist” scrob/tag) so I look at D&W as a standalone project, no different than IE and BG, but these ReMiX collabs as a one-time (or temporary, with the chance of reuniting again in the future) and I’d like to give individual credit for these songs, because there isn’t one unifying project-name in the artist category. Also, just look at WHAT’S being scrobbed. It’s “Demons & Wizards”, not “Jon Schaffer, Hansi Kürsch”. I’ve wanted to just tag the OCR songs as “OC ReMiX” as the artist, and then in the notes and comments, one would find who participated in this song, similar to a “Featuring Malone from Arsis”, rather than sullying up an artist or song tag with the “Featuring..”. ReMiXers might have a different take on it, as it would be removing credit from the artist tag. Maybe I’ll ask Andrew [zirconstudios.com] sometime how he feels about OCR and tags!

I disagree about your collab statement. Think about Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, and Demons & Wizards. Should Jon Schaffer and Hansi Kürsch get additional tally points for that? Should IE and BG?
