Also set ARTIST to "Dylan, Bob"?

For Flac, create two ARTIST fields.  Alternatively, use a separator
character, which is how it must be done with tagging systems such as
ID3v2.

ARTIST=Mark Knopfler
ARTIST=Chet Atkins

When you browse by artist, both will show up in the list and the album
will be listed below each artist.  When you browse by album, though,
the album will (or should) never appear twice.  It will be grouped with
one or the other artist (I think it's usually the first one
alphabetically).  You can force the grouping using something like

ALBUMARTIST=Mark Knopfler
ARTIST=Mark Knopfler
ARTIST=Chet Atkins

But one downside to doing this is that the album will appear to be "by"
the album artist and won't display both artist names until you drill
down into the album or track detail level.
