This was my first thought also, I'm fairly sure this would work for the
top level menus.
However, the problem is what to do with the "Genres" menu, we would
either have to choose one of them (which will make some people upset) or
we would have to create an intermediate menu (which will make other
people upset).
Another thing to consider is what to do with the song detail menus, do
we want to have two menus there also, one that lists other albums where
the artist is "album artist" and one that lists other albums where the
artist is ("artist" or "album artist") ?
The context menus also needs to be handled, because clicking +/More and
then "Play" should probably give different result if you do it in "Album
Artists" menu or "Artists" menu. From a user perspective I think it's
fairly clear what you want to happen, but this also has to be
implemented. However, we already have a similar issue in the context
menu in the "Genres" menu versus the context menu in the "Artists" menu
today, so this part is probably not a big issue.

In my mind, TRACKARTIST could still be of interest for artists which I
never want to show in the main browse menus but still be able to see
when I look at the song details for an individual song.
My general feeling is that we really need someone to provide a patch so
people can try it out a bit.
