Tagging and Sorting for Multiple Artists

I wasn't aware that it was comparing those tags across albums. There were 2 Fitz & the Tantrums albums, one had a sort tag with "&" and the other album had "And". I have corrected all the Album Artist and Album Artist Sort Tags and those ALBUMARTIST errors are gone. There are still heaps of ARTIST tag errors, they'll take some time as most of these but now I know it is comparing every instance I've got a starting point.

I think I'll be back with some more questions on the multiple artists.

Thanks for the support, On New Year's Day no less.

Have a great New Year, Kel

It is necessary to compare the sort values across albums because these sort values control the sort order of the Artist and All Artists indexes. Each index entry can only occupy one sort position and must therefore have a single consistent sort value.

Happy New Year!
