• get album(): string
Gets the album of the media represented by the current instance. For video media, this represents the collection the video belongs to.
This field represents the name of the album the media belongs to. In the case of a boxed set, it should be the name of the entire set rather than the individual disc. In the case of a series, this should be the name of the series, rather than the season of a series.
For example, "Kintsugi" (an album by Death Cab for Cutie), "The Complete Red Green Show" (a boxed set of TV episodes), or "Shark Tank" (a series with several seasons).

Tag.album
• get albumArtists(): string[]
Gets the band or artist who is credited in the creation of the entire album or collection containing the media described by the current instance.
This field is typically optional but aids in the sorting of compilations or albums with multiple artist. For example, if an album has several artists, sorting by artist will split up albums by the same artist. Having a single album artist for an entire album solves this problem. As this value is to be used as a sorting key, it should be used with less variation than performers. Where performers can be broken into multiple artists, it is best to stick to a single name. Eg, "Super8 & Tab"
Remarks
This property is implemented using the "Album Artist" item and "AlbumArtist" as a backup if it exists.

Where performers can be broken into multiple performers, it is best to stick to a single album artist. Eg, "Van Buuren, Armin"

• set performers(value): void
Sets the performers or artists who performed in the media described by the current instance.
This field is most commonly called "Artists" in audio media or "Actors" in video media, and should be used to represent each artist/actor appearing in the media. It can be simple in the form of "Above & Beyond" or more complicated in the form of "Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, Paavo Siljamäki", depending on the preferences of the user and the degree to which they organize their media collection. As the preference of the user may vary, applications should avoid limiting the user in what constitutes the performers field - especially regarding the number of performers.

• get performersRole(): string[]
Gets the characters portrayed by an actor for a video or instruments played by a musician for music. This must match the performers array (for each person, correspond one/more role). Several roles for the same artist/actor can be separated with semicolons. For example: "Bass; Backing Vocals; Vibraphone".
It is highly important to match each role to the performers. This means that an entry
in the performersRole array is undefined to maintain the relationship between
performers[i] and performersRole[i].
