Hi,
It seems that if the Gracenote data contains Arranger credit for a song on a CD, then that information is listed by QMP as the Track Artist (in the playlist and in the actual player window). If there is no Arranger data, then the Track Artist data is of course being used. Is this a QMP bug to be fixed? Tested on B119.

An example of such CD is Beth Orton's Central Reservation, where tracks 2 and 9 are shown in the playlist as being songs by Oliver Kraus (incorrectly). Those two tracks are the only ones having Arranger information. Other such CDs exist.

I saw the same thing on a Tori Amos CD with B119. I ripped the CD (with a FreeDB aware tool) and turned off MusicID to help out, but it is indeed annoying.

Not tested on B120.

BTW, how are Gracenote and MusicID related? The latter is only an additional feature of the former?
