FYI: I’ve been keeping my patch rebased on top of Rhythmbox master. https://github.com/ruud-v-a/rhythmbox
An alternative worth looking into is Quod Libet, it is a music player with a clean GTK UI that does do sane sorting after a bit of configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/253167 Title: Rhythmbox sort by "Album Artist" for guest/compilations Status in Rhythmbox: Confirmed Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in rhythmbox package in Debian: New Bug description: Binary package hint: rhythmbox For guest artists on an album or compilations Apple allows definition of an album artist and artist for each track. 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.
