AlbumArtist misses artists

Good question. I find good tagging quite puzzling.

I use the ARTIST tag on a per track basis, can be different among different track. Especially when there are different soloists in a movement.
With ALBUMARTIST I tag the main player, the ensemble and the conductor.
With ALBUMARTIST I want to find the albums, with ARTIST I want to find the individual tracks.

Example:
ARTIST: The London Symphony Orchestra\\London Symphony Chorus
CONDUCTOR: Claudio Abbado
COMPOSER: Mendelssohn, Felix
ALBUMARTIST: The London Symphony Orchestra\\London Symphony Chorus\\Claudio Abbado
\\ is to create separate tags in mp3tag.

I decided to exclude the composer from the albumartist, although I have some older albums that use the composer as well.

By the way, I use Emby as my main mediahub and Emby has no problem with different ALBUMARTIST tags, but uses any of the them to find the album.
But Emby lacks the possibility to adjust the DLNA. For example, it does not use the STYLE, CONDUCTOR, MOVEMENT or ORIGINALDATE tags.
