On this topic it is well worth having a look at how the LMS database is actually structured and what the scanner does with AlbumArtist, Artist and similar tags e.g. Composer
In summary, there is only one database table called "contributors" - the scanner will read the tags and insert entries into this table with a numeric type indicator that determines what the entity is in human terms. A contributor can appear more than once if it has multiple types associated with it. I can't recall what the numeric inicators are for each contributor type off hand but they are pretty obvious when you look. The multi-tag delimiter referred to above simply tells the scanner to create multiple entries in the database for the tag/type in question if it finds the delimiter. When you do More, the first level of info you see is data from the database but if you then do More Info / View Tags then LMS reads the the actual file and shows you the tags To look at your database do the following.
