>I have tags set as follows: >ARTIST=Britney Spears >COMPOSER=Johnny Cash > >So going to Johnny Cash and browsing the tree, you never see the >Britney track. But if you browse to Johnny cash and PLAY ALL, you get >all the JC tracks plus the Britney track. > This is not what I see. I have an album Rocks The West by California Guitar Trio, on which one track has COMPOSER=Ludwig Van Beethoven.
If I go to Browse Artists > Ludwig Van Beethoven, I see albums by Ludwig Van Beethoven, and also Rocks The West. If I hit play on the Ludwig Van Beethoven, it plays what I see when I browse to that artist. This is because I have the Composers checkbox ticked within Settings > Music Library. So it will display composers in the Browse Artists list. Apparently, this also causes albums containing songs with a composer role to be listed in the album list when browsing to that artist. I would say that is inconsistent. The tooltip for the checkbox setting says "Song information about composers, bands and orchestras can be included in the artists list for browsing and search.". But it does also seem to filter in albums context too, which I don't think it should do, as the Compilation checkbox only applies to the artists list. >This is expected behaviour apparently. > I would disagree with that. eg. With the Composer checkbox unticked, I can browse to Ludwig Van Beethoven, and I don't see "Rocks The West" album listed for that artist. If I hit All Songs play button, it plays everything that Beethoven has an involvement with, which is more than the items listed on the page. I agree with you - it's wrong! Playing all music by an artist always plays all songs with any contributor role. Browsing to an Artist should always show all music by that artist - the same as when browsing to the artist. Is there a bug report for this, that I can add a comment to and vote for?
