In the case of a lieder recital, the two Artists are both AlbumArtists, and Artists, so I tag them as both. I appreciate that others think differently, but it's logical to me. AlbumArtist is one thing - the main artist appearing on every track, and therefore worthy of being looked up as such in a search on AlbumArtist. Every track has a list of Artists (some use Performer but I don't), so they appear there as well. If I try to rely on the logic of a server to merge AlbumArtist and Artist, different servers behave differently, so I tag everything to my needs.

I'm happy to accept that I'm daft, but have got used to being so over the years
