This bug was first noticed in 2008, and it is now 7 years later, near the end of 2015, and it still hasn't been resolved. Rhythmbox is the default music player for the GNOME desktop, and I simply can't use it without this bug being resolved. I'll try to poke through the source and see what needs to be done to resolve it.

Rhythmnbox only allows browsing by track artists so many artists appear listed with only one track. Example, Red Book by Texas: 1. 036 - Texas 2. Getaway - Texas 3. Can't Resist - Texas 4. What About Us - Texas 5. Cry - Texas 6. Sleep - Texas featuring Paul Buchanan 7. Get Down Tonight - Texas 8. Nevermind - Texas 9. Bad Weather - Texas 10. Master Thief - Texas 11. Just Holding On - Texas 12. Red Book - Texas The sixth track has artist "Texas featuring Paul Buchanan" whilst all others are "Texas". I want to browse by album artist selecting "Texas" and seeing all 12 tracks on the album, not just the 11 that match.
