There indeed is some room for improvement. TIDAL actually has a label of
"main artist" in the data, and album vs. track artists. I should be able
to improve this.

"attempt to match" is asking for complaints. Because it'll never be
perfect. It will always fail for some. How would you split "Lady
Gaga/Ariana Grande" correctly? Or from your example "London Symphony
Orchestra"?

That would be a bug. I'll look into this. Thanks!
