Awesome =) Except for the spaces after *feat. *ft and *f. I 
can imagine people omitting these spaces at times when 
tagging. (e.g. "Artist one feat.Artist Two"). Don't know if it 
actually happens, but theres always the possibility.

Hmm, thinking about it though, artists with initials 
starting with F may suffer from that. Ah the joys of 
finding the middle ground =P
