I'm the same for some musicians.. for example, if I'm in a really good, but really lazy mood, I'd have ranked the Momus song "Sex for The Disabled" lower and a song like "Hippopotamomus" or "Bishonen" higher.

They're the same thing.. it's just that he got a permanent backing.. he had one guy consistently on Bass and one guy consistently on drums.

So then it's in my player as Eve; Gwen Stefani. In which case, I would just put in the song title (Feat. Eve), and make the artist Gwen Stefani. When dealing with my player, I'm not so big on doing different names.

Never a problem. When I want to listen, I just go to the artist and then sort. Or I could just make it a playlist.. but I never really want one album.
Plus, if I do, I'll still have "Hyacinths and Thistles" and "For The Sixths".
