To solve the long-standing issue of the existing UI property BAND not showing FLAC ALBUMARTIST. [http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/7374/picf.png](http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/7374/picf.png) ...

... I added a mapping rule "VorbisComment ALBUMARTIST BAND"), and it works as far as BAND display is concerned, but silently breaks the display of %albumartist%, causing it to falsely show null. [http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1950/picvh.png](http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/1950/picvh.png)

This seems like a bug.

Attempting to workaround this by adding a mapping "VorbisComment ALBUMARTIST ALBUMARTIST" fails - regardless of the order of the two mapping rules. [http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5581/picj.png](http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/5581/picj.png)

In fact even having the workaround rule without the problem rule (BAND) blanks the display of %albumartist%. [http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/5721/piciq.png](http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/5721/piciq.png). This too seems like a bug.
