Each album contains tons of different artists, because the artist field include featuring, instead each tracks in a album use the same "Album artist" field and fallback to the "Artist" field in case "Album artist" doesn't exist. My proposal is to create a Album Artists tab or change how the Artist tab behave. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Elisa 2. Open Artist tab OBSERVED RESULT See Artist A feat Artist 1, Artist A feat. Artist 2, Artist B feat. Artist 2, etc. EXPECTED RESULT See Artist A, Artist B SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.58 Qt Version: 5.12.?

For example, the album artist "Postmodern Jukebox" occurs with in conjunction with "featuring Artist" in 92 different combinations in my music collection. Because I'm unable to multi-select in the Artists window to add items to the playlist, it would require 184 clicks to queue all of my tracks by this album artist into my playlist. Ideally a separate "Album Artist" view on the leftmost panel would navigate by "Album Artist->Album->Track" so that albums could be easily found and queued for playback by album artist name. 2097262 2 nate 2022-01-23 19:20:19 +0000 *** Bug 448924 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2267633 3 onigino 2023-11-22 06:37:30 +0000 +1 2315617 4 bart 2024-05-01 17:20:12 +0000 *** Bug 479109 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2430993 5 git 2025-06-07 21:40:37 +0000 *** Bug 499491 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2432528 6 mkaiser98 2025-06-12 16:21:30 +0000 +1 2488642 7 amaro.flores00 2026-01-26 17:57:38 +0000 I agree with Carl and Cory F, being able to have album artists displayed in the sidebar makes navigation in larger libraries considerably smoother. The artist tab gets easily cluttered and album artist sorting is needed.
