I have to admit that I am not sure what the problem being dicussed here is.. but anyway.... When I had populated the AlbumArtist tag for some albums and Browsed by Artist I could only locate those albums by the AlbumArtist tag in the resltant list. They were not listed by their Artist tag anymore. So, the AlbumArtist tag appeared to overide the Artist tag.... **when I browsed by Artist**
I hope that is clear?

The way you put it is not exact. This is better....but I must reiterate... I was only concerned with Browse by Artist. Once I had removed the AlbumArtist tag from the albums the albums in question were again listed by their Artist tag (when I Browsed by Artist). Once I'd checked the relevant SC7 Music Library option I mentioned above and completed the Composer, Band, Conductor tags these too appeared in the Browse by Artist list.... as well as the Artist.

No, that's not what I experienced... but that is not to say it's not true... it's just that I did not get the chance to experience it as I did not look around to see that AlbumArtist tag overode all other tags. All I noticed was that when completed it overode the Artist tag when I Browsed by Artist.

However, hen I added the Composer, Conductor and Band tags then those tags also became visible in the Browse by Artist list. It doesn't mean that they wouldn't have had I still had AlbumArtist tag completed. I just don't know as I entered these tags after I had removed the AlbumArtist tag.

Or Phil? For my part, I am lost I'm afraid. It looks me that I do not view/list music the way you do... and also not in the way Phil or Erland do. FYI it's Classical music that gave me the biggest problem.. just due to the fact that there are a lot more acknowledged roles involved in the production of classical music (i.e. Composer, Conductor, Orchestra, Violinist, Choir etc...). My problem was not solely confined to Classical music however. MC -- ModelCitizen Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
