in fishbone, when i browse in gallery view, i do artist, year, album.

can someone please verify that the way SS works when it organizes music
from a scan, is that it arranges the albums via the "artist" tag, but
when it displays the artist name in gallery view, it uses the
"albumartist" or "band" tag first if available?

can someone also explain why it does that?  and is it possible to
change that behavior?

also, is it the case that albumartist as a tag is supposed to account
for any given track on a CD which may have an extra artist or be
different from the main artist of the CD?

for instance on the billy joel box set, on CD3 there is a track with
both billy joel and ray charles performing together.

should artist for that track be billy joel, and albumartist be 'billy
joel / ray charles.'?

i just switched it to that, to see what SS will do with it now, but b4
it was reversed, and so SS put the whole CD3 under various artists b/c
of that.
