I wonder if you could offer a quick summary Michael of the current state of 
this, and what changes are in progress?

I'm a little confused over some things I'm seeing - it could be work in 
progress, or a bug.  I've pulled latest 7.9 from git, and deleted by prefs file 
to ensure there's no old prefs causing issues.

"Album Artists" is showing too many artists.  If an album is detected to be a 
compilation and assigns album artist "Various Artists", I think the scanner 
currently creates Artist roles for each track, rather than Track Artist roles, 
whereas if an Album Artist is directly assigned to the tracks, then the scanner 
would create Track Artists?

Album Artists > Various Artists still shows all compilation albums, not only 
albums by artist "Various Artist" (e.g. I found one album by "Various", listed 
under the artist "Various" but also under "Various Artists" as it is tagged as 
a compilation).  I don't think this browse method should have any logic to look 
for compilations now, only artists + album artists.


The Additional Browse Modes settings page has the pre-configured modes that can 
be enabled/disabled, but I can't see Artists, All Artists, Album Artists or 
Albums in this list, irrespective of the "Browse Artists" choice on the My 
Music setting page.  Should they be?

At some point whilst changing options, all three Composer, Conductor and 
Band/Orchestra checkboxes became ticked, and then later all were unticked.  I 
usually only have Composer and Band ticked.

Having switched back to single Artist browse method, this list is also showing 
too many artists.
