So prior to v2.4.7 Mp3tag converted TPE2 in ID3v2 to BAND in APE? Thanks for the heads up, unexpected orchestras we know where to look.
AKAIK some earlier software did use BAND in Vorbis for orchestra, but it was my assumption that was also true for APE. The ID3 spec does say that TPE2 is the band or orchestra (so Mp3tag was not wrong to do that), but TPE2 use as album artist became the practical standard disregarding the documentation.
I guess anyone with APE BAND tags containing something other than orchestras, is in the similar situation to those with ID3v2 TPE2 tags containing orchestra (rather than album artist).
