most people put the artist's name first most likely because your usual players will present the audio files with a name in this order. it is also easier to search for files that are grouped by artist and not by song. :)

Windows Media Player doesn't.
Creative MediaSource doesn't.
SonicStage doesn't.
VAIO Zone doesn't.
QuickTime doesn't.
Zoom Player doesn't.
Imeem doesn't. (borderline - it does in the browser titlebar, but not the player.)
Even bloomin' Top of the Pops didn't. (TV programme)

I don't understand what "searching files grouped by artist and not by song" has to do with anything.
That's what the Artist metatag is for, the filename is irrelevant. Unless you're using some really backwater player this shouldn't even be an issue.

Point is, I was brought up with putting the title first, through my whole life, and that's what I'm going to continue doing - potential confusion be damned.

Déjà Vu - Takeharu Ishimoto
Subarashiki Kono Sekai "The World Ends With You" OST

So there!

And no, I don't care that Winamp does display artist first.
That thing is the Firefox of media players in every way you can think of, and thus gets a VERY wide berth from me. I only use it because I'm forced to for the emulated game formats.

no, wait, i am not defending anything, just merely stating a fact, the most obvious fact without taking into account cultural backgrounds.

nowadays, due to the fact that there are thousands of different musical genres (which is never a great thing, but whatever), most of those have one maybe two representatives. therefore, instead of coming up with new names for each current, they are addressed by the name of the respective bands. for myself, i have been brought up in a cultural background that uses artist's name first, even my parents did so. i find it rather subjective and it's interesting how no one ever brought this up. hmm...

either way, i think this is completely irrelevant to such a forum, making my comment useless, sorry.
