Anybody know how picard gets the sort values for artist and albumartist? Are they downloaded with the other metadata or compiled from it on the fly?

snuffy, sort names are downloaded, not computed.

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of.

I need to figure out a plugin to get them the way I wan't them.

Well, like I said, they really can't be done programmatically. You'd have to know the difference between middle names, mult-word family names and a bunch of other things.

But I dunno, maybe your needs are different. What form do you need them in?

If you want something simpler, like "just move 'the' to the end and call it good", then sure, you could do that with a script.

Actually I want to strip off the "the' completely.

yeah, while that's not how MB currently does it, I agree, that's a good approach.

are digipaks square (as in same width and height)?
Digital and CD versions belong to the same release group, but often, on creation, users create a new release group with the same name

Well, multiple releases of the same album, even with bonus tracks or discs generally belongs to the same RG (release group), check guidelines: https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Release_Group
