(You can argue that Mp3tag > shouldn't ever call Album Artist "BAND", but hey... blame popular usage > of TPE2/BAND in MP3 ID3.) It's actually the other way around, the other programs use band as album artist so it shows up in the band tag when you look at it in mp3tag. It's more common to find TPE2 used as album artist in programs than the correct usage. It's so common now they might as well change the official usage. I have a friend that downloads a lot of torrents and I loaded his computer with mp3tag. In over 15000 tracks I didn't find one that had the Official Album artist tag. Probably over half had the band tag used as album artist. These were mp3's so if you took into account itunes mp4 files which use band as album artist you can see getting people to use the correct album artist tag is pretty hopeless.
