Version: 2.4-GIT (using KDE 4.6.0) OS: Linux I don't know if it is a bug or a new behavior induced by all the album artist/compilation change but here is my concern: I have three album: - "Cowboy Bebop" soundrack, no album artist in tag, some file without artist and some tagged sung by "Emily Bindiger". it is viewed as various artist by Amarok - "Fiction", album artist: 梶浦由記 (who composed all track), some song of the album are sung by her band, some by "Emily Bindiger", it is viewed by Amarok as a 梶浦由記 album which is correct. If I play an "Emily Bindiger" song from the Fiction album on Amarok 2.4.0, the album view show me: Album of Emily Bidinger Fiction - *Current song* (bold) - other songs by Emily Bidinger - other songs by other artist Cowboy Bebop - songs by other artists - /Emily Bidinger - songs by Emily Bidinger/ (italic) If I play an "Emily Bindiger" song from the Cowbow bebop album on Amarok 2.4.0, the album view show me: Album of Emily Bindiger Fiction - other songs Cowboy Bebop - */Emily Bidinger - current song/* (bold and italic) - /Emily Bidinger - other songs by Emily Bidinger/ (italic) - songs by other artists If I play an "Emily Bindiger" song from the Fiction album on Amarok GIT, the album view show me: Album of 梶浦由記 Fiction - *Current song* (bold) - other songs If I play an "Emily Bindiger" song from the Cowbow bebop album on Amarok GIT, the album view show me an empty applet: Album of Emily Bindiger The Git version is maybe more acurate as showing only "album of album artist" regardless of the singer, but I was mor expecting the old behavior which was showing, "album in which artist has sung something regardless of the album artist". If the new behavior is the one wanted by Amarok dev, is it possible to have a configuration option (or another applet) to get the result from 2.4.0? Reproducible: Always
With the latest beta, the behaviour changed, to what it was, when playing the track of an artist on a various artist album (without 'album artist' tag) ie: ------ If I play an "Emily Bindiger" song from the Cowbow bebop album on Amarok 2.4.0 (and now 2.4.1 beta1), the album view show me: Album of Emily Bindiger Fiction - other songs Cowboy Bebop - */Emily Bidinger - current song/* (bold and italic) - /Emily Bidinger - other songs by Emily Bidinger/ (italic) - songs by other artists ---- for the other case (playing track from an artist on a album where 'album artist' is credited to another one), it still remains as described previously.
