As you discovered, the WMA file container supports multiple Artists,
Composers & Genres per track... and Slimserver supports it correctly.

Windows Media Player 10/11 works correctly with multiple names, as does
the Windows Vista shell.  In the UI, you'll see the names with
semicolons between them... but when it actually writes the metadata to
the file, it'll store discrete tags for each name.

Regretably, most tools like Mp3tag will wipe out the multiple tags in
WMA and keep (I think) the last one only when writing.  (The author has
been notified, but it's a low priority bug.)  I'm sure Tag&Rename is
similar or worse.

FYI: In WMA, internally Album Artist is WM/AlbumArtist... which
Slimserver also correctly reads.

Hope this clears up some of the chaos...
