How do members put featuring, when an artist features on the track.

 

I usually use feat. for example Gotye feat. Kimbra. I never write featuring in full.

'ft.' normally because people know what it means and although it's only for the sake of two letters it is easier/quicker.
As per the way I post my personal chart and top 100 update son here, 'feat.'. I used to use 'ft.' and I have no idea why, that looks so ugly.
I use the shortest version, given that I have to type in all the T200 new entries every week! :P
feat. in general. Occasionally I forget and use ft. though.

I use feat. as it is much nicer to look at than ft.

 

featuring takes too long to type and it is rarely used these days :P

Always ft. for me, I'm so OCD with tagging though. It's always:

 

Song: Somebody That I Used To Know (ft. Kimbra)

Artist: Gotye

 

or

 

Song: Dance Again (ft. Pitbull)

Artist: Jennifer Lopez

 

But in my chart or while I'm writing posts or whatever, I'll obviously write 'Gotye ft. Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know' or 'Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull - Dance Again'.

I do that on iTunes too, I only have them separate when it's "Sugababes vs. Girls Aloud" or "Beyoncé and Shakira", when I have both of the artists anyway and don't know which to tag it under, so just use that. Having said that, I have "Brandy & Monica", but I have no other Monica songs on my iPod...

 

I just keep it the same for my chart, e.g. Tinchy Stryder - Bright Lights (feat. Pixie Lott)

This, exactly.

 

I do have lots of tags with 'feat' but I try not to let that bother me too much.

It always has to be, for eg, "Somebody That I used To Know (feat. Kimbra). Without the brackets I find that it looks quite messy.
Other. If put 'ft.' without the dot. Eg. Gotye ft Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know. It's how I've always done it, for a brief period I used a forwardslash, but reverted back shortly after.

feat.

 

if using featuring I would get rid of the brackets, I normally never do though.

I don't use feat. or ft.! I just separate the artists with an '/' so: "Gotye / Kimbra - Somebody That I Used To Know" :D
I always use featuring, and always in the artist field never the song title.

On iTunes I avoid all featurings because it messes up the artist section on the iPod (which is the section I always use to play music). I guess I could put it after the song title (like Liam said) but I don't like that either for some reason.

 

I use ''/'' in my personal chart but when I write about a featuring on a forum like this I will use ft., feat., featuring, ''&'' or ''/'' interchangeably, all is good.
