Format:  exclusively FLAC with cuesheet files.

It's almost that simple.  As of the scan done by the 31 Dec build every
artist I had applied an ARTISTSORT tag to was sorted correctly and as
expected.  I'm working through my collection changing Lastname,
Firstname formatted artists to Firstname Lastname with ARTISTSORT
tagging embedded in the flac file and embedded in the cue, but with a
REM tag so as not to confuse the parser.  I've gotten from about A to G
and cherry picked other ones, e.g. "The Academy of Ancient Music,
Christopher Hogwood" is now "Christopher Hogwood, The Acedemy of
Ancient Music" with an ARTISTSORT of "Hogwood, Christopher".  Now,
looking through the artists listing, there is exactly one artist I see
that is sorted properly:  Nat King Cole is under C.  I don't see a
single other one sorted properly in, well, what *was* called 531 albums
by the 31 Dec scanner and is now called 521 albums.

So yes, the one exception might point to something more subtle at play,
but the bottom line is that the scanner's accuracy in dealing with the
tag has gone down by about two orders of magnitude for me and I haven't
touched anything.
