Although I do understand your concerns, I think SBS is now closely matching 
other software, so it is more compatible in behaviour.

Most other software have exact equality on tag values.  I've tried iTunes, 
Foobar and Mp3Tag, the three apps that I use daily.  All of these do not strip 
trailing spaces from an artist tag, and differences in trailing spaces will be 
recognised as different artists, or songs not grouped on the same album.

There will also be potentially hard to spot issues if two spaces are placed 
between words.  eg. "Pink  Floyd" != "Pink Floyd"; stripping leading/trailing 
spaces won't help here.


NB. the only concern I might have is whether separator characters ignore 
whitespace.  Is "ARTIST=XXX;YYY" the same as "ARTIST=XXX; YYY" or would the 
scanner detect an artist called " YYY"?  It's not something I do (as I use two 
distinct tags, rather than separators) - I haven't tried it myself yet.
