DSF most commonly uses ID3 tags. It might be getting confused between AA and BAND because AA has been de facto stored in the BAND field in ID3v2 for quite some time. 'bliss' (https://www.blisshq.com) - fully automated music library management. 'Read the music library management blog' (https://

I think your TPE1 and TPE2 are written by your ripper or tag editor. LMS doesn't write these. The treat TPE2 as band or album artist only affects how the LMS database is built. I wonder what would happen if you coded your 2 things as album artist field separated with a semicolon ";". There are ot

I was not saying that a separate BAND tag had been implemented in the LMS database, I was saying that you can put multiple items in TPE2 by separating them with a semi colon ";". You would then see separate entries for each one in the "Album Artist" view with the LMS setting of "Treat TPE2 MP3 ta

It is very helpful. The implication of what you are saying is that both mp3tag and LMS will support a custom user made and defined BAND tag. It likely is written by mp3tag as: TXXX BAND ...in files using id3 tags. I am not surprised mp3tag allows this or does that since they are aware TPE2
