The other catch which I was getting at, which applies regardless of
which tags you have is that the pairing of ARTIST and ARTISTSORT is non
predictable (and non predictable how many taggers add it):

ARTIST=Foo Bar
ARTIST=Baz Bob
ARTIST=Foo Bar & Baz Bob
ARTISTSORT=Bar, Foo & Bob, Baz

It is unclear and undefined which artist will end up getting that
ARTISTSORT attributed to them.  It is probably undefined what order a
given tagger will write those tags (well unless you are using separator
character).

At times, I think it would be useful to be able to specify an 'ARTISTS'
file, which would specifically get around this... so you could have:


Code:
--------------------
    
  Frank Sinatra       Sinatra, Frank
  Antonio Carlos Jobim     Jobim, Antonio Carlos
  Frank Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim     Sinatra, Frank & Jobim, Antonio 
Carlos
  
--------------------


And setting ALBUMARTIST to 'Frank Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim' would
then be correct and still sort correctly. and not mess with the
individual artists either.
