EDITED as I answered by own questions, so came up with more.
Q: Do we use album artist mbid(s) when doing an album search at Musicbrainz if we have them but not the album mbid?
A: No.
But would Musicbrainz search support this?
Q: Do we use artist names individually when the album is a collaboration e.g. multiple album artist names, or just the album artist description string (which may not have the names in the same order or syntax)? For example:
"Orchestral works" "Georg Friedrich Händel; The English Concert, Trevor Pinnock"
"Riding with the King" " Eric Clapton & B. B. King"
A: we use the album artist description string.
But would Musicbrainz search support using individual names, for better accuracy?
