I do it the same as you are doing. I think that is the standard. But if you like to listen to the individual tracks in a mix by themselves then the composer method is one way to do it, so that you can have the original artist in the artist field. Then you just have to search using composer for dj mixes. But that depends on whether your mp3 player uses the composer field.
The composer field is useful on the ipod as an extra data field for categorising by whatever you want. Unless you listen to a lot of classical music, in which case the composer field would probably be used "correctly".

You are using ID3 tags, you're just not inputting them yourself, letting ephpod automatically parse the filenames into ID3 tags for you.
Effectively what you write in the filename format is the ID3 tags. You have a filename delimitation that directly corresponds to the ID3 artist field, etc, so you have exactly the same issue, you just don't know it.

It is not as simple as that. Which spot is the "correct" one when you have two pieces of information for the same category? There are two artists that relate to the file, and this cannot be properly described under the limitations of the ID3 database.
But if I would use this forum more, I would probably read the question before answering.
