The named authors are those with primary responsibility for the idea or intellectual content of the item. This may be a composer, director, or performer performing original material.
It's good to put the format in square brackets after the title, e.g [CD], [DVD], [videorecording], [MP3], [streamed audio]
The person responsible for the content of the music is the composer, but the performer has a secondary responsibility. For traditional music, name the performers. Include the publisher's catalogue number, if known.
