[mb-users] Naming Conventions for Various Artist Mixed By Trance...

One of the issues I found this weekend was with a series of cd's in
the Trance Nation series. Doing a simple search on Trance Nation comes
up with many naming differences - for example I found:

Ferry Corsten - Trance Nation # (disc 1)
Ferry Corsten - Trance Nation # (disc 1) (mixed by Ferry Corsten)
Various Artists - Trance Nation # (disc 1) (mixed by Ferry Corsten)
Various Artists - Trance Nation # (disc 1)

What's the correct format? All of these are Various Artists
compilations, DJ mixed by a certain individual. I can dig up some URLs
later, just at work and thought I'd fire off a quick query. Someone
had an edit in to change one from VA to Ferry Corsten and I voted no,
but someone else voted yes and said it follows the naming convention -
is there a link in the style guide I missed somewhere?

Cheers,
Haeretik
