> ... I want to have mp3 tag check each album for multiple albumartists, and store the files in the first artist's folder and create a Shortcut in the folder of the other artists. It looks like i may be able to write a custom "export function" to do this, but I don't know how to make a "custom export function" do this so if anyone has code to do this or can give me some pointers to get me started it would be greatly appreciated!

You can learn from there ...

... how to create an export file, which creates a VBS script file, which in turn can create shortcut files.
