I'm still listening... but I abandoned Banshee for this exact reason, I
received a response which I found quite abrasive after pointing out that
it would be hard to migrate users from Rhythmbox if Banshee was not able
to correctly index files tagged with that player.

Windows Media Player, and iTunes tags things in a certain way, which is
also strictly "incorrect"... as does Rhythmbox, but if Banshee doesn't
accept that there are millions of MP3's out there tagged like this, it
will never get the success it deserves, because people will run it once,
see it make a hash of indexing their library, and drop it again.
