No, it isn't stored. When quitting the directory and entering it again,
the tag "Album Artist" has disappeared. IMHO this is a bug: Album
Artist does not work with flac files the way Easytag implements it.

When setting the "Album Artist" of an mp3 file, mp3info2 reports that
the tag is called "Orchestra (etc)":

mp3info2 file.mp3 | grep test
Orchestra (etc): test

Strange. According to sources on the net, in case of ogg and flac, the
tag should be called ALBUMARTIST. And indeed: an excellent program like
"Ario" shows the contents of the "Album Artist" when setting the tag
"ALBUMARTIST":

metaflac --set-tag='ALBUMARTIST=test' *.flac

So, this posting is a bugreport :-)
