Wow. Thank goodness for search. This was exactly my question. I have a
few follow-ups though:

1) This thread was left hanging. JJZolx asked if the ARTISTSORT is
SlimServer specific. Is it?

2) I hope this one is rhetorical, but just so I make sure I've
understood correctly.... I assume that if a track doesn't have the
ARTISTSORT (AS) tag set then the Artist tag is used to sort but, if the
AS tag is set, then its value is used in place of the Artist tag for
sorting. Is this correct? Does this sort order affect all browsing
functions, e.g. if I have tracks from an album with Artist tags "David
Bowie" and with AS tags "Bowie, David" then all my David Bowie stuff
will show up under "B" when I do browse by artist but, when I play
something, the Now Playing info will show as "David Bowie". Is all this
correct?

3) Does capitalisation matter in tags, i.e. does it have to be all
capitals?

On a related note, how do tags work in FLAC/Slimserver? Do FLAC files
allow for the embedding of ID3 tags or is there some seperate tag
format for FLAC? If both alternatives are possible then which is
SlimServer using? Is ARTISTSORT a FLAC tag or an embedded ID3 tag?
