Well that would be severely mistagged then.  GENRE would be a much
better tag (yes, I know Soundtracks is not a Genre per se, but
especially combined with multiple genre tags makes browsing useful..
want to find a Soundtrack, look under Genre=Soundtrack.  I do this, and
have a bunch of other classifications like 'Live' and 'Bootleg' for the
same reason.)

Well, yes, that would.

ARTISTSORT is tied to ARTIST.  It says, "for this artist, sort them as
this"... it applies to the ARTIST, not the TRACK.
