Artist info missing

The problems with the artist not showing up appear to happen in three ways

1) When the tracks have been copied wirelessly using WinAmp, and are put through album washer

2) If they have been copied wirelessly using Winamp, and are then moved from the device's internal memory to the SD card using the stock android file browser

3) If they are copied to the Android phone (internal memory or SD card) via a USB cable and using Windows Explorer

I wonder if it is less to do with the tags or extended tags, and if there is a hidden database that Winamp creates when it wirelessly syncs the tracks. Then somehow the relationship between the M4A file and the record in the database is broken when it is album washed, or has its location changed.

In terms of removing the totaldiscs field, is this the right way to go about it. Connect the phone via USB, open the track with Mp3tag, right click on the track, extended tags, highlight the totaldiscs entry and hit the delete button?
