Hmm, when tagging it with Easytag, "metaflac" is is unable to list it:

I set "Album Artist" to "test"

$ metaflac --export-tags-to=-
01-01-Telemann-Du-aber-Daniel-gehe-hin--Sonata.flac TITLE=Sonata 1
ARTIST=Gli Angeli Geneve
ALBUM=Du aber Daniel gehe hin
DISCNUMBER=01
DATE=2007
TRACKNUMBER=01
TRACKTOTAL=17
GENRE=Classical
DESCRIPTION=Stephan Macleod, German Baroque Cantatas
COMMENT=Stephan Macleod, German Baroque Cantatas
COMPOSER=Telemann

Where is this field stored?
