Composer, or what MS calls "Artist."It is rare, but MS does have some good ideas. By having "Artist" and "Album Artist" you can assign, for instance:Artist: BachAbum Artist: Glenn GouldorArtist: BachAlbum Artist: Suske(and of course:Artist: BushAlbum Artist: Bush)Then you can sort by artist to see each composer's works together, or by album artist to see it all grouped by the performer.Same result, but a bit more versatile and more practical, than just a "Composer" field. Obviously, the composer in pop music is not all that significant to most users, and adding the several composers who are listed on that Bush album, and the hundreds of other composers from all your other pop albums, would make searching for Bach a much more difficult task.This is why I think Artist/Album artist is a better idea.
