Thanks! I typically use Mp3tag for this. However I understand that once I process a file in MC again in any way - those tags will be back... So it would be nice to disable their creation permanently.

Awesome Donkey:
Then don't let MC process the file. Once I import a file and it runs audio analysis, it doesn't process the file again unless I make it.

Isn't a good enough reason to leave the tag in the file? Is it causing you issues?

As said earlier some tools display both values in a single Album Artist GUI field - so I see "Mr Artist / Mr Artist" as a value.

Awesome Donkey:
I've only seen the double album artist field displayed with two file types, DSF and AIFF. I don't have any MP3s to test with, but it makes sense to have both available for compatibility with mobile devices.

In my case with DSF files, I just deleted the second (TXXX) album artist field and it was fine after that (and MC doesn't add it back, unless like I said I make it via Update Tags (from library)).
