You are of course right, while that might not cause all the files to get
backed up again,  it still doesn't seem efficient. I'll do a subset and
compare, even if I include the time to actually code the powershell
script I'm guessing it will be faster... and the script will just
iterate through files one at a time.

Trying to load the entire library into mp3tag was a dead end, 3,500
files took nearly 12-mins and then it just appeared to come to a
standstill. Rather than mess around loading a directory at a time I'll
work a powershell script this week, and keep a count of how many were
found with artistsort set.

That said adding a switch in an LMS config that said ArtistSort=yes that
can be switched to No to ignore the tags during scans would be the
simplest. Changing MP3s only fixes it at the time and doesn't prevent
future purchased or acquired MP3 from messing it up again.
