To add two-cents, if you ever use multiple tags (say multiple artist
tags) and accidentally make a mistake with the order, that will mess
things up.

Also, going back to earlier discussion about tag types, I've had
instances where multiple tag types were written to files (ID3v1 and
ID3v2 or even FLAC).  If there are multiple tag types, MP3Tag will
usually only show info from one tag type.  For instance, if you have
both ID3v1 and ID3v2, it will only show the v2 tags.  But if the problem
is in the v1 tag, you may never see it.  

While tags like that are supposed to be consistent, they aren't always
that way.  This has especially been the problem in the odd cases where
I've ended up with ID3 tags in a FLAC file.  

In many cases I've had to remove all tags and start over to clean out
the problems.  MP3Tag (and probably most good software) know not to mix
tag types, but other software can cause those problems.  


By the way, I do think you can search through tags using MP3Tag or other
metadata software to find all the files with the culprit field in place.
For instance search for your Toussaint name as the problematic file
will somehow have that name there.  At least after loading your library,
you could narrow it down to a more reasonable number of culprits.

One final note; when I used to have errors like this, they unfortunately
existed in other places in the library for different names, etc.  It
just goes without fail.  It's not that we do anything wrong but just
that similar errors (Be it through auto-tagging or other) occur.
