By performer tags, I meant tags in customscan_contributor_attributes,
not the "performer" tag. Sorry for not being clearer. I use mp3tag to
tag my songs with per-song custom tags, but how do I tell it that a
given tag that I put in a song is for a Particular contributor and not
just a per-song tag?

Thanks,

Mike
