I like this idea very much, especially since I agree, browsing by album title is kind of useless as is. That this also fixes browsing by artwork (so that the artwork will then show up sorted by artist, rather than by album name) is another plus. Is there a good tool on Windows that will let me do this? (Heck, I run Cygnus, so even a Unix tool might be OK.) Ideally I'd like to automate this so that the tag would get populated as a post-tagging step based on the values of ARTIST, ALBUM and YEAR. I swear by Tag&Rename, but it doesn't look like it can handle this tag. (I'll send some email to the developer, though, and request it.) Thanks.
