Description
Created attachment 217113 Git patch that adds support for album artist in the browser view
It is often not desired to show all artists that are present in the library, because of mix and compilation albums. These albums have one single album artist, but can have a different artist for every track. This way, the library gets 'cluttered' with artists that have one single album with one single track. Additionally, the mix/compilation albums get 'spread out' over multiple artists, and it becomes hard to find the entrie album. The solution to this problem, is to browse album artists instead of artists. This way, albums remain grouped together.
The attached patch adds an option to use the album artist instead of the track artist in the album view. Screenshots can be found at https://imgur.com/a/CJajq. As you can see, the album artist browser is much cleaner.
