Hello,
I played a bit more with the database generation and from what I can see
there are 2 ways to make sure that the database is sorted properly (i.e. the
way I want the artists to be sorted):
1. remove all the MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME from each file.
2. make sure that all files also contain a properly written SORTNAME tag.

I made a few tests and it looks as if always the SORTNAME is taken when I
have both tags, i.e. a MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME and a SORTNAME tag.

I guess I can handle both cases with a shell script fairly easily, though
removing is certainly easier.

Currently I don't see any problem in removing the MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME
all together but maybe I'm missing something. Might I need that some
time in the future? Any recommendations?

Not sure I understand the implications. Does that mean that the SBS might
ignore my ARTIST tags and use the ALBUMSORT in some cases? If so, when?

BTW while playing with the database I ran into more problems, but maybe it's
better if I start separate threads for each problem.
