Yeah, we still haven't figured out where to draw the line on using "featured" over direct discography. We might eventually have to resolve this through a vote.

What I'm trying to solve is where the user wants to include (or more likely exclude) vocal albums from his searches, so we need some kind of classification to catch those albums that are full vocal (until we have percentages). It's not flawless, because not all vocal albums are arranges. Other vocals have to go somewhere, even if we call the category "Other Vocal", so that someone doesn't categorize as "OP" and "Vocal".
Synth Voice would cover more than just Vocaloids. I'm not sure if we need it either.

Yeah, Eyes on Me is kind of like the "theme song" for FF8. We could add a Featured Theme, or combine all these into OP/ED/Theme

I don't think that re-using themes that belong to the same series should count as derivative.

No, because it's a compilation. Aside, do we need a Compilation classification?

So there are some things we can combine after all. We'll need Datschge to chime in on whether he thinks we can combine Remaster and Demaster.
