Also an ARRANGEMENT tag, to allow for Composer's works that have been
"arranged" for the recording.

For example, ELP's Pictures at an Exhibition, the first track "Promenade"
would be

TITLE=Promenade
ARTIST=Emerson, Lake and Palmer
ALBUM=Pictures at an exhibition
TRACKNUMBER=1
COMPOSER=Mussorgsky
ARRANGEMENT=Keith Emerson
