ITunes 7.0.1 resolved/unresolved issues

The ability to select multiple tracks and drag artwork on to them in one go is now restored and working in iTunes 7.0.1.
However the issues I have regarding the new Album Artist tag remain (along with a new one I have discovered which seems to apply to both 7.0.0 and 7.0.1).
1. You cannot browse via Album Artist (only Artist)
2. If you sort by Album Artist, albums containing multiple different Artists (but all labelled as the same Album Artist and Album) are split up instead of being grouped, this affects all three views but is particularly noticeable and annoying when using Album Art view or Coverflow. Note: the only sort that reliably groups the contents of Albums is sort by Album.
3. A new problem I have discovered. I have (as you can gather from above) filled in the Album Artist tag for all my tracks in my library and this does show up correctly in iTunes. However when I examine these tracks in other programs which can read m4a meta tags, these other programs DO NOT see the Album Artist tag as being filled in. This either means, Apple are storing this information in a non standard tag, or are not storing it in the file at all (and only in the iTunes library database). Note: all my tracks are in Apple Lossless (which uses the m4a file and tag format), also this refers to iTunes on Windows.
I have not yet retested using the "Get Album Art" command to see if it a) now gets 600x600 art instead of just 300x300 art, and b) gets the art from your iTunes accounts country store rather than the US store which would help ensure you get the correct artwork for your countries editions of CDs.

You might want to try ALL the steps here for removing iTunes AND quicktime (No Music Will Be lost) Don't download or install itunes yet http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
Goto The PC makers site and download/install sound card/audio drivers, Firmware updates for the CD ROM and pretty much any updates they offer that apply to your PC.
Now disable antivirus and reinstall itunes
