Does clicking on the track in Slimserver show it as composer?

It should show something like:

Title: Who Says a Funk Band Can't Play Rock?
Artist: Funkadelic
Composer: George Clinton; Walter Morrison; Michael Hampton
Album: One Nation Under a Groove

Which is technically correct, but, yes, on most non-classical music it
is... annoying.

You can disable using Composer/Conductor/Orchestra tags on the 
server-settings/behavior page.  I chose not to, because I actually like
it for classical and even though it means deleting information, I just
don't tag things like that for non-classical.
