MusicBrainz provides three names for the album artiist. As credited, as in MusicBrainz, and as a sortable name.
Jack currently uses the album artist as credited for tagging purposes, just like MusicBrainz Picard.
Jack currently also uses the name as credited for constructing the path to store files.
This makes less sense, as it will cause lots of differently spelled names for the same artist.
If the spelling just differs in case, it could cause problems with sharing the data to Windows or storing it on case-insensitive filesystems.
The default should be the artist name as in MusicBrainz. Ideally the choice should be user configurable.
