Jeezus, you're tearing yourself up over this...

See snarlydwarf's explanation.  Once an audio file or album full of
audio file's is scanned and the metadata entered in the server's
database, it doesn't matter what type of file it was - Mp3, Flac, Ape,
Ogg, WMA, etc.  They're all treated the same.  The trick is to scan the
files correctly, and, with tagging systems not as flexible as those used
for Flac, Ogg, and Ape, interpret tags as closely as possible to
SqueezeCenter's internal tagging model.

TPE2 is called "BAND" in a lot of applications.  Some applications even
call it "Album Artist".  There's never been an option to sort by or
group by BAND.  There _is_ an option to treat BAND as ALBUMARTIST.  My
understanding is that this option is mostly to address how the TPE2
id3v2 frame is treated.

As far as I can tell, the only thing broken is the treatment of TPE2
during scanning.  Addressed by this bug:

The rest of it - sorting and grouping by ALBUMARTIST works pretty much
as expected.
