I've never really understood why there was that contributor column on albums 
table, because there could be more than one contributor (albumartist can have 
multiple values).

So if an album has songs by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno, I could define 
"ALBUMARTIST=Robert Fripp;Brian Eno" - there would be two artists that have 
contributor role album artist on that album.  What gets displayed then?
