Actor and Artist are valid aliases for Author.

In any event, using an invalid attribute name shouldn't crash the Player, it
should just return a failure HR. Look for something else going on there.
For instance, perhaps bstrArtist is returning a NULL value and OLE2T is
throwing an exception? Just a guess...
