Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me with an issue I'm experiencing in moode 8.2.5. I have some flac files that are tagged with performer / composer information, like so:
These files are shown in the tag view (when set to AlbumArtist) as having an album artist of 'Unknown AlbumArtist':
If I switch to Artist or Artist (strict) in tag view (which I'd prefer not to, to avoid 'noise' from compilation albums), I still see the album artist as unknown in the view:
Is there any way I can prevent this concatenation of performer / composer being used as Album Artist, and instead have it as being the same as Artist? I can see that files that do not have the performer / composer tags set are correctly shown in the tag view with the value of the artist tag being used for Album artist:
Am I doing something wrong? I'd rather avoid retagging things if I can. I'm using Kid3 on mac, mostly using lookups from Discogs.com for metadata.
Any advice gratefully received. Thanks as always for this amazing project!

ETA: Looking at the code, I think I can see that it's not a concatenation of Artist / Performer / Composer, but rather Artist / Performer / Conductor. Either way, the behaviour is producing some odd results for me...
