Thank you Mnyb - so, you have reproduced the behaviour of 'problem 2'
(using LMS Linux & iPeng on iPad, where it acts in similar fashion to
LMS Windows & iPeng for iPhone).

It is obviously a bug imo: when there is a list of albums, the album
title and the album artist should be displayed..... and when there is a
list of tracks, the track title and the track artist should be
displayed, simple as that. Displaying the album artist instead of the
track artist is useless and perverse, you need to see the track artist
at this stage. It's no different if you then go on to add the same
tracks to the playlist - you want to see the track artist with the track
title don't you? And if you browsed to the album directly through the
Album list instead of through the Artist list - again you want to see
the track artist with the track title, there is no difference. You are
right that the server is behaving correctly in filtering songs by the
artist selected, but that is not the problem (we have filtered by Album
Artist and all the songs on the album correctly show up). The problem is
we then have track titles displayed accompanied by album artist not
track artist, and that can't be right.

(As for tagging, I deliberately chose an Album Artist tag which would be
easy to follow for testing, it's just an example. Although I do actually
use it as well and believe it is valid, whereas Soundtrack to me is not
a genre of music. It is a useful way of organising my compilations for
access, other Album Artist names I use are things like Wire Magazine
CDs, Soul Jazz Records Compilations and so on)
