I've used the method of copyrighting a dozen songs as a collection, but the 
one limitation to that is that they have to all be by the same author(s). You 
can't have one song by you, and then another by you and someone else in the 
same collection (unless you want to share the credit for all the songs).

The thing I am confused about is if you need to copyright the composition 
(sheet music) AND the performance/recording? If you have a cool synth part or 
drum beat, its not really part of the composition, but you don't want people to 
sample you and use your drum loop with no credit at all. So it seems you might 
have to do both copyrights
