There is no need to provide extra options to the user. We are faced to make life changing decisions everyday in Amarok, and this is one of them. However, i do see your point, Compilation albums make no sense when viewing the browser without albums showing. Bugs 125837, 132209, and 125689 seem related. 125689 has a patch. Maybe a developer could review that? I agree -- viewing by artist (or by some combination of artist/genre) should completely remove Various Artists and list songs under the correct artist. I was trying to use the collection browser--grouped by artists only--to go through and clean up my artist tags (fix misspellings and the like). But now I can't do this, because some songs show up under the artist name, but others show up under "Various Artists". This process is now much more tedious for me than it otherwise would be. *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** Thank you for taking the time to report this bug for Amarok. Amarok 1.4 is now unmaintained and will no longer see any improvements. Because of this, and the massive amount of changes Amarok has undergone throughout the 2.x series of releases, we are closing bugs that no longer apply to the 2.x series due to changes in functionality, the underlying architecture, or a conflict for the vision of Amarok 2. We appreciate the time you took to provide feedback about Amarok 1.4 and will look forward to any feedback you may provided about Amarok 2. Thanks. Why have you closed this feature request? This is still relevant, AFAIK Amarok 2.x still cannot do this! Re-opening and moving to a currently-supported version. This wish has been granted.This report should be removed.

It may possibly be a duplicate *** Bug 264684 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #10) > This bug seems to be related to bug 264684.
