Yes, I guess those are both cases where those artists should not be
considered Album Artists.

That explanation makes perfect sense, and was how I assumed things were
working. But evidently that's not how they're working, at least in the
case of cue sheets. From the Hydrogenaudio quote above and also the way
the XLD ripper works, a PERFORMER tag that appears before any of the
individual tracks should be the 'CD Artist', or the Album Artist if you
like.
A couple of examples:
Code:
--------------------
TITLE "My Test Album"
FILE "My Test Album.flac" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Track Title 1"
PERFORMER "Track Artist 1"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Track Title 2"
PERFORMER "Track Artist 2"
INDEX 00 02:23:13
INDEX 01 02:24:63
--------------------
In the above example I have two separate Track Artists and no Album
Artist. When LMS scans this, both Track Artist 1 and Track Artist 2
appear as Album Artists (and also as Artists, naturally). This
contradicts the first criterion above, because there is no 'sole
artist'.
Next example:
Code:
--------------------
TITLE "My Test Album"
PERFORMER "Album Artist"
FILE "My Test Album.flac" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "Track Title 1"
PERFORMER "Track Artist 1"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "Track Title 2"
PERFORMER "Track Artist 2"
INDEX 00 02:23:13
INDEX 01 02:24:63
--------------------
In this case, the only change I made was to add a PERFORMER tag before
any of the track definitions. Now when LMS scans this I get and empty
Album Artists list, and I get "Album Artist" plus "Track Artist 1" and
"Track Artist 2" in the list of all artists. This contradicts the
second criterion above because the cue field that should be interpreted
as an Album Artist is being interpreted only as an Artist.
