How to handle Artist and Albumartist

I put Oistrakh in the tag SOLOISTS, the orchestra in the tag ORCHESTRA, and conductor in the tag (can you guess?) CONDUCTOR. I can then vie by any of the above.[/font] I put the composer in both the COMPOSER tag and the ALBUMARTIST tag, and leave the track artist blank. I do this so I can also view by album artist on Apple and Astell & Kern portable devices, which default to track artist rather than album artist.

Thank you, this works. Didn't know I could make a new tag 'Soloists'. I put the three tags under 'Index tags'. Under Item tags I put 'Artist' and changed the tagFormat (tab Advanced) into: 'Artist.displayFormat={$soloists$orchestra$conductor}'.
And yes, conductor, soloists and orchestra are visible on the metadata-popup AND I can find them in the Library-browser.
Thanks again.
