Scan complete, so I tried browsing to an album that has an album artist, due to
a guest performer on one song.
Navigating in Web UI to Home > Artists > After Genesis > The Cryme Of
Selling Lambs:
Album Artist: After Genesis
Track Artist: After Genesis, Alessandro Cavicchi
Year: 2004
Duration: 79:35
Album Volume Adjustment: -7.47 dB
I feel the Track Artists should not be listed here in Album context. There
could be hundreds of track artists; the whole point about them being guests on
songs, is that you're only really interested in seeing those artists on a
chosen song, not all of the song artists on the album (same rules as for
compilations).
Another major fail is that "No Album" isn't browseable any more. Songs without
an album tag used to be browseable under that artist > No Album, and all songs
for all artists that don't have an album tag used to be browseable under Home
> Artists > Various Artists > No Album, or Home > Albums > No Album. I
can't even find "No Album" in a search.
However, if I search for a song that I know is not on an album, I can find it
in the search results, browse into song information and then from there click
on album = No Album.
No Album is then displayed something like this:
