>•CHG: renamed field name BAND to ALBUMARTIST

Yes, for some strange reason that has happened.

Big mistake - for many reasons, esp. being in a point release, which could 
really confuse existing users.

There are new bugs/issues yet unresolved as a result - eg. scripting support 
and custom columns & scripts that existing users have already set up.

Interaction with Foobar is now screwed by default, as that doesn't support 
TPE2=ALBUM ARTIST, and it is now not possible to write to a custom TXXX 
ALBUMARTIST column, as it writes to BAND instead.

There are other changes to Mp3Tag id3 tag mapping names, such as album/artist 
sort column names, ITUNES* tag names, etc, which may also confuse/break 
existing users.

It seems the author responded to a single user's suggestion (after having been 
configured the old way for many years), and not even made it configurable.

I do remember a similar change a few years back in an Mp3Tag beta release, and 
subsequently the author admitted it was a mistake and backed out the change.  
Strange that it is happening all over again.

Ah well, there's no need to "upgrade" - I'm happy with the version I've got.
