Unfortunately, several LMS features, such as the count of Artists, and list of Artists in some menus, seem to exclude them.
I really don't understand why this distinction is made. There must have been a reason, at some stage, but what was it? Surely an Artist on a track when there is also a different AlbumArtist is a perfectly good Artist? One of the reasons I originally used CustomBrowse was to get round this problem. Then came the extended Browse menus (very nice they are too by the way) so I had to make my own to add the extra artists back in. And I'm still left with this slightly irritatingly weird calculation of Artists on the Web GUI (and in the scan information). If there really is a good reason why they are excluded, maybe you could add an option to include them, along with Composers, Conductors etc, in the My Music configuration.
