Not true - you see Album Artist and Track Artist links (and Band, Composer and 
Conductor links too, where appropriate), but not an Artist link.

An Example:

What I am seeing in SBS 7.5.6 web app and classic player interfaces is the 
following:

"Curiosities Volume 1"
Album Artist: Brian Eno
Track Artists: Brian Eno, Robert Fripp

Browse to album Curiosities Volume 1 in Web App:

Clicking album artist "Brian Eno" will show all albums where Brian Eno has an 
Album Artist tag (4 albums), NOT also his normal albums.

Clicking track artist "Brian Eno" will show all albums where Brian Eno appears 
as a track artist only (5 albums).  This will be all albums where Brian Eno has 
an Album Artist tag, plus some other albums where he appeared as a guest on 
someone else's album, but NOT also his normal albums.

Clicking Band/Orchestra "Brian Eno" will show only albums where Brian Eno has 
been tagged as a band (1 album).

There is no obvious way to browse to Brian Eno from this album to see all other 
work that Brian Eno has been involved in (i.e. show his normal albums, for 
which I have many more than 5!).

This made no sense to me, so I think the current behaviour is much improved.  
I'd rather see too much, than too little.


The behaviour in Touch interface in SBS 7.5.6 is the same as LMS now functions 
everywhere.  Touching any artist role link (artist, album artist, track artist, 
band, etc) will always show all albums where that the artist has had any 
involvement.

SBS 7.6 and later have standardised the interface, attempting to make 
functionality the same across different interfaces, and the Touch interface 
behaviour was the behaviour chosen.
