@leglubert ,
It's standard for digital music players to prioritize 'album artist' tags over an individual track's 'artist' tag when both are populated in a file. You'll find this on any popular music playback/library software.
This allows albums that contain tracks by different artists to be seen as one album by the overriding album artist, such as compilation/mix albums or albums with feature artists.
If you have files with incorrect tags that are causing anomalies in your mpd library you should correct the tags in your files with a tagging program.
