So I'm actually the person who convinced slim that they needed the
option to treat TPE2 as Album Artist at scan time, and as the default.

This is bc virtually all software handles TPE2 this way, most don't even
give a choice.  Whatever u do, I would suggest you don't mess with
that.

It is unfortunate, bc 1. It is out of spec, and 2. there is no well
supported workaround to have explicit band tags in id3 based files.

That is the de facto reality however.

So if u want BAND values represented in ur id3 files, but separate from
AA values, u really only have two choices:

1. Create a custom tag per spec like this:

TXXX BAND

...but idk if server does or can support that frame.

2. Hijack another field.

There are doubtless other id3 fields u don't use, but are supported by
ur software.  Yes it's a kludge and might be hard to fully expose or
implement but imo its probably the best solution.
