If you are at all interested in learning more about the people behind the recordings, Lomax has written essays with more detailed accounts and dialogues! It's common practice in ethnography (as musicology fieldwork is) to use pseudonyms for participants. That said, I do lament many of the recordings go uncredited, since they are performance art.

Наверное, всё-таки неправильно скробблить под его именем, но не знаю какую альтернативу можно предложить, а качество многих полевых записей (сделанных, подумать только, 60-70 лет назад!) просто поражает своим качеством, когда ко мне впервые попал диск из его коллекции я некоторое время думал, что Ломакс сам и исполняет песни.

memristor & sub-realist please know what is being talked about before commenting. This is not at all about last.fm tagging rather this is about what value is being used within the Artist tag that is being scrobbled. So maybe if you actually knew what you're talking about, then you might have something relevant to say. Try it again.

Really, at the end of the day, who gives a shit what its tagged under. Its really not important, one way or the other. maybe if you're talking about who gets credit for it, then you might have an argument.

"Artist" can mean many things. It can either mean the composer of music (used primarly for classical music), it can mean the performer (most popular music), the bandleader of the performers (Jazz music: Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller, Miles Davis,...), the producer (mostly used for electronic music). But somehow people seem to have a problem with using the recorder or ethnomusicologist as the "artist" when nothing else is known. So people tend to use the most generic option they can find like "unknown" or "traditional". At least with the Alan Lomax tag you'll get an artist page with relevant genre tags and similar artist. I dare you to go the "unknown" last.fm artist page and find anything relevant there.... So yeah....stupid like I said. Very weird indeed huh?

Paszt consider this...what would be more relevant as a tag? "Unknown" or "traditional" which can refer to much more types of music (or artsist/composers) or "Alan Lomax" which still is alot more relevant to the music then those other options. It's kinda the same discussion where people like to tag the performer of classical music instead of the composer. So you have "London Symphony Orchestra" instead of Mozart. Tagging it like that doesn't tell you much about the music. Just like "traditional" and especially "unknown" doesn't tell you much about the Lomax rexordings either, at least the tag "Alan Lomax" tells you something. Now do you understand the stupidity of using "unknown" as a tag?

So tagging an unknown artist as unknown is stupid? What a weird definition of stupid you have jazz thieve. I wouldn't call incorrectly tagging an unknown song artist with Alan Lomax stupid, I'd just call it wrong, or incorrect. And do you see the hypocrisy in your post telling people to stop complaining about this when the other comments are rather old? By the way, a lot of these songs would be better attributed with Traditional since they pre-date any written or recorded version.
