Ahhh. I knew you can't do artists right :)

Sure. A lot is possible. Then somebody else will complain :)

I'm sure I can spend a few month developing a fully configurable and
scriptable version that can be adapted to anybody's wishes but will be
so horribly complex that everybody hates it :)

The way it is now is the same way the Logitech App shows artists so
probably what most people expect.

Yes, and it's staying that way.

It's a performance issue.
Current playlist is especially bad. Already now it's possible to create
playlists that will never completely load and bring the performance of
both the App and the server pretty much down (although you have to
remove the default limit of 500 tracks in the server settings for
this).
The same is true for albums. A single album might not be a big issue but
if you open something like "Various Artists->All Songs", that's a menu
with some 15.000 tracks for me which has to be fully retrieved and
sorted on the device, downloading it in one minute or in four makes for
quite a difference and the full artist lookup is sloooow. :)

Well, yes. Once iPeng has the information it does of course use it.
Also, the current track has scrolling labels in the iPad's playlist
screen saver so it can show it as well....
