Exactly.  That is the correct solution - tag things properly.  It doesn't take 
long to open your whole music collection in mp3tag, and make it copy the 
content of TPE2 (BAND) into TXXX ALBUMARTIST.  Rescan SqueezeCenter.

Problem solved.  No frigs, no hacking around in the source code.  It won't 
break other rubbish applications that misuse BAND as ALBUMARTIST, so you can 
continue to use iTunes and WinAmp, but as a bonus SqueezeCenter will work as 
you expect, and FooBar will too.
