first, i admire your patience, as i'm sure experimenting on a non-intel
readynas is painful.

be aware of this bug:

http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9523

you have already implemented a solution, but good to know this anyway. 
the hardest part of figuring out SBS for id3 tag users is first
understanding what TPE2 is all about, and then the relationship between
band/AA and how it means different things and has different
ramifications depending on how its treated.

since you use itunes, comp status should be set by comp tags, and so
TPE2 tags should not be as big an issue.  but since itunes does
consider TPE2 to be AA, it makes sense to have SBS do so as well.  if
for some reason comp tags aren't set, thats when you get into setting
TPE2 (as an itunes user).

as a non-itunes user, my tags don't include comp tags.  therefore TPE2
is really essential for me.  since these apps (WMP, winamp, etc) always
set TPE2, i have TPE2 set on ALL my files, and so SBS reflects that,
since i treat TPE2 as AA.

how one tags is based mainly on two things:

1. what their rip software does
2. if they are only concerned with SBS afterward, or other apps as
well

so, there is no magic one size fits all, you just have to find what
works best for you.
