Hrrm, perhaps. It should definitely behave as it is seeming to behave
for me: that is the whole point of setting albumartist, to train the
software to sort it there when sorting by album... Not sure what other
use the tag would even have.
I am not sure why you say they are effectively the same, though:
Code:
--------------------
[gimli:~/mp3/The Who/Thirty Years of Maximum R&B] 3:40:14pm 171 % id3v2 -l
*mp3 | egrep '^TPE1 .* High' | wc -l
4
[gimli:~/mp3/The Who/Thirty Years of Maximum R&B] 3:40:20pm 172 % id3v2 -l
*mp3 | egrep '^TPE1 .* Who' | wc -l
91
--------------------
Ie, 4/95 tracks are credited to The High Numbers, not The Who.
So why is this showing up under The Who, where I would expect it to be?
(Since albumartist is The Who. That should be where to sort it.)
As for MrSinatra...

"The Who" is not in the TPE1 on 4 of those tracks.

If you mean remove The Who from the Album Artist, um, well, no, that
would be silly: the whole point is the interpretation of Album Artist,
so setting it to something else would be silly.
(And yes, SC does interpret the MB Album Artist -> the album artist
field.)
Perhaps that is an indicator of the difference we see... my ALBUMARTIST
is 'native' (ie, SC treats it as an exact synonym for ALBUMARTIST) but
yours is from BAND/TPE2 and subject to the vagaries of that "Interpret
BAND/TPE2 as album artist" checkbox?
