Conflicting album artist values

[retraite]

Thank you for your prompt and thorough response. However, I'm still a little confused, so would like to pose a supplementary question. Looking again in mp3 tag at the album I used as the example in my first post , the "Artist" column lists :

BBC Singers\\Simon Joly, Bo Holten

Under "Album Artist", the column lists:

BBC Singers

These are the same for all the tracks on the album.

So, as I understand your response, which recommends that I do what I already thought I had been doing, there should not be a conflict, unless I am misunderstanding the column classifications in mp3tag, (which, given my level of knowledge, is entirely possible). I do note that your response refers to "ALBUMARTIST" which is slightly different to the column name in mp3tag.

I would be grateful for any further thoughts you may have.
