Thanks for the explanations. I start to understand something :-)

But I think, I do not agree with the standard behavior for albums
having ALBUMARTIST set. Even if I have an album with guests in a track
I would of course like to see the album artist and the guest when
browsing the artists list. I would like this list to contain artists,
album artists and track artist (BTW it contains already BAND, COMPOSER
and CONDUCTOR and may be others I don't know).

Regarding the tags recognized by SC, the wiki
(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SlimServerSupportedTags) is
unfortunately not too helpful. It misses e.g. ALBUMARTIST. Hence, I
cannot trust that the list is anywhere near completeness.

I just figured out a nice puzzle for setting the title string which I
see in the playlist:
1) a track with album artist (in tag ALBUMARTIST) and guest (in tag
ARTIST), the two are of equal importance e.g. a duet
=> TRACKNUM. TITLE by ALBUMARTIST & ARTIST

2)  a track with album artist (in tag ALBUMARTIST) and guest (in tag
ARTIST), the ALBUMARTIST is really the main contributor and guest does
only add some lines of vocals
=> TRACKNUM. TITLE by ALBUMARTIST feat. ARTIST

3) a track where ALBUMARTIST remixed a track by ARTIST
=> TRACKNUM. TITLE by ARTIST & ALBUMARTIST

I guess, I get this never right :-D
