[mb-users] (Diana Ross &) The Supremes temporary conclusion

Reading through the discussion I made this temporary conclusion

Keep The Supremes as The Supremes
Keep Diana Ross & The Supremes as Diana Ross & The Supremes
Make an annotation to both of them (as Zout already did partially)
Rename Various Artist Compilations to the Artist as printed on the cover 
(mostly Diana Ross & The Supremes)
On track level rename them to the right artist

I think this is the best way to do it and then wait for an option to 
group Release Artists.

In this cases it is always best to think of your mother:

She bought a CD called Christmas With Diana Ross & The Supremes 
(fictional CD)
I ripped the CD for her, for her iPod, and then she can't find it 
anymore because it is under Various Artists.
After calling me for this problem she want to play Jingle Bells By Diana 
Ross & The Supremes (from the CD Diana Ross & The Supremes - Marketing 
around under the christmas tree with berry gordy <- forgot guess all) , 
but it is under "The Supremes" because some nerds decided to merge these 
artists.

Can you all agree with this conclusion?

Fred  (being a devil's advocate for himself)
