Metadata - which fields do you use?

So having discovered how to edit the metadata on my audiobook files more easily (i.e. do it at the start), I'm now wondering how other people organise their files.

In particular when you have an audiobook you have a title, an author (or authors) and a reader (or in some cases a whole cast). Turns out there are different possible metadata fields depending on whether you're using Windows, iTunes or some other program. However what they seem to have in common is they're geared toward music files primarily.

So I'm thinking something like:

Title -> Title
Series -> Album
Author -> Artist
Reader -> Album Artist

However there's also fields like 'composer' (for author?), 'performer' and even 'publisher' that I could use.

What, if anything, do you do?
