RE: Albumartist vs trackartist list
Not sure you've seen the reply from the person using Moment / Twonky. See pasted below. He believes that it would not be possible.

*** The Moment has no configuration option on this front, it does not read the file system storing the songs but behaves like any DLNA controller/renderer with on top the
*** ability to store the collection information/tags for local processing/indexing, like Glider does.
*** BUT, as you could see in the Moment database raw data I posted the other day, song/album TAGs collected & processed are very limited (I posted an excerpt below with
*** relevant information) and there is no miracle to expect when: "Album artist" is not collected, "Genre" is present and empty while the info is definitively present in the song
*** (Rock), "releaseYear" (which is stored in the album index) is present and = 0 while the info is definitively present in the album songs (2011-11-29) .... how can they sort
*** the albums then ???, "DiscNumber" is not captured so in a two discs album you'll have track 1 disc 1 followed by track 1 disc 2 in the Moment UI (Twonky is also bad at
*** that, but I guess that B&O have mimicked what Twonky does more than leveraging what Twonky exposes, i.e. we would have see something like "DiscNumber":0 or "").

*** "name":"¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe! (feat. Wild Light, Mariachi El Bronx)",
*** "artistName":"The Killers","artistNameNormalized":"Killers",
*** "trackNumber":4,
*** "genre":"",
*** "duration":273,
*** "parentAlbum":{"id":"1412","name":"(RED) Christmas - EP","releaseYear":0"isCompilation":false,"genre":""
