*** Bug 123067 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** To other people that wish this were implemented: You can assign the composer data to the genre tag and set 'group by' to genre/album or genre/(year) - album. It's a dirty workaround, but it works. Another suggestion for a useful behavior (seems on topic here): have composer be a surrogate for artist if the artist tag is missing. That way a file tagged with just a composer wouldn't be listed under "Unknown" for artist. It could even be taken so far as to list the composer in the collection browser as an artist, even if the artist tag is present. Crazy idea? I just think it would make music management easier and more puritanically correct. Don't know if that's a good thing ;-) This has been implemented in v1.4. (See my resolved bug 129545) The solution is to right-click the column headers just like one would in the playlist window; this allows one to add a Composer column. However, the composer column spontaneously disappears whenever one quits AmaroK or changes the collection sorting options (See unresolved bug 126685). Nevertheless, one can sort via Composer now!
