Because Album Artist is used in combination with Album to define which files belong to an Album: https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/index. ... erties/4.0

I can't understand why Media Monkey would autopopulate "Album Artist" same as the Album when updating. Why not leave the field blank if the information is not available. I'm constantly erasing the field. Is there a way to turn off autopopulate of the "Album Artist" field.
