Why Tag class has no accessor for 'artist' ? #93

It seems more common to have an artist value, than albumArtists. I am wrong because I do get returns with 'performers'. Edit: Just tested, setting performers shows in the generic Artist field

This field is most commonly called "Artists" in audio media or "Actors" in video media, and should be used to represent each artist/actor appearing in the media.

Hi @stuartambient yep, you figured it out. This follows the same pattern as TagLib# and the original C++ TagLib of calling the artist field Performers. Don't ask my why the decided to call it that, but there aren't any plans to change it.
