I've been trying to isolate what's up with the Artist count in SS and where it pulls the data for it from. Part of that search has led me to this "Album Artist" tag (or "TPE2" or "Band" depending on the file format). Some new apps (WMP11b and iTunes7) seem to be populating it now. There seems to be a large difference of opinion on how this tag should be used wrt to VA. I don't want to code my tags "just for SS", I'd rather code them using the proper standard. The Foobar WIKI at HA I linked is just one example of a group trying to suggest a standard.
I'm just trying to sort though all the confusion. ;) Slimpy - I appreciate the info.
