wondering if this is an intended feature or something isn’t working right. when i import the entire album, it gets the composer tag for each track correctly. but if i do a singleton import of any track in that album, it doesn’t.

Hmm, that’s odd—no, I don’t think that’s expected. Would you mind filing a bug report with some verbose output so we can take a look?
