Can you explain this? What is the condition these artists fulfill, andhow
should they be handled? how should the conditions be rephrased so that the
result is what you expect?
What about this:
IF
more than 50% of an artist releases in MB are in their native script
(i.e. Albumtitle and TrackTitle)
THEN
store the ArtistName in their native script
ELSE
store the ArtistName in the common English t13n
