Or yet another variation on the same theme that no one has mentioned... Leave all your ID3 tags the way they are... (The Whatever)

AND...

Have emplode handle the creation of the swapped names at import time. Then your tag display isn't affected in other programs.

This allows additional control by not forcing you to modify the ID3 tags in the original files. But that's still an option if you prefer.

Having a second database entry can also be something private for the player database and doesn't have to mimick any existing ID3 tag. That has its drawbacks of course. but it can also be something handled with a function in emplode for auto population as well as manual.

Whatever the end result, I think the consensus is that we want the ability to sort and display in a logical order with the ability for forced customization. Is this a neat and small catch-all?
