So you use multiple ARTIST and ARTISTSORT tags and they stay
coordinated? That is, you can have these tags in a file:

ARTIST = Frank Sinatra
ARTIST = Antonio Carlos Jobim
ARTISTSORT = Sinatra, Frank
ARTISTSORT = Jobim, Antonio Carlos

and LMS never gets confused about which ARTISTSORT tag goes with which
ARTIST tag?

I use the separator method; i.e.,

ARTIST = Frank Sinatra;Antonio Carlos Jobim
ARTISTSORT = Sinatra, Frank;Jobim, Antonio Carlos

and the whole reason is to guarantee that the artist names are matched
up correctly with their sort order. 

Otherwise I think I would use multiple tags, which seem a little more
portable. For example, MusicIP doesn't recognize the separator method,
so it thinks I have an artist named "Frank Sinatra;Antonio Carlos
Jobim", and it does NOT recognize the tracks on this album as tracks by
Frank Sinatra. And I foresee similar problems if I ever try to play my
music in systems other than LMS.
