I'm using EasyTag, which I thought was the most up-to-date tagging
program.  I'm not seeing any fields for Artist Sort (I'm using FLAC,
perhaps they exist for MP3).  I'll try another tagging program to
verify.

I'm using the latest MySQL version bundled with the SqueezeCenter .rpm
via yum.  I'm going to look into this MySQL bug as I have a sinking
suspicion this might be the cause.  Has anyone else noticed this bug
with the .rpm builds?  It's easy to miss, as I think it has only
occurred with maybe 4 artists out of 600.  Perhaps I'll grab a patch
for mysql (if one exists) and attempt that.  Thanks Max
