[SlimDevices: Beta] Album Artist with iTunes 7.0

[WhaleOil]

The new iTunes 7.0 seems to be getting a lot of negative press at the
moment, but is working fine for me.

I particlarly like the support for the 'Album Artist' tag, which I have
been hoping for for a while.  I have now changed the tags in my library
of ALAC files to take advantage of this for albums with more than one
'artist' that are not 'compilations'.  For example 'Ultimate Kylie'
includes Jason Donovan, Robbie Williams and Nick Cave as artists on
some tracks as well as Kylie, but I have set the Album Artist to Kylie.
This is working fine in iTunes - this album is now sorted under 'Kylie'
but the album artist does not seem to be being picked  up by
slimserver.

The option 'list albums by band' does not seem to pick up the new Album
Artist tag in iTunes and continues to list all the separate artists for
each album.  In fact, even after several rescans, this switch seems to
have no effect on my library in Slimserver.

As ever, I would appreciate any help you can give.

Many thanks

PS. Mac OSX and iTunes 7.0 and 6.5b3
