Description André Neves 2009-11-12 06:38:44 UTC

Version:           2.2.0 (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-2-amd64

For this album, a compilation of various artists, Amarok shows the first song's artist as the album artist, which is obviously wrong.

You can check this out in the image I'll attach below.

As you can see, artist is wrong. "Warrant" is simply the artist of the first song, "Heaven". "Silent Lucidity", for instance, is Queensryche's song, as we all know.

Please check duplicates before submitting bugs, this only causes more work.
Hint: 'album artist' is a good keyword for searching...

Not only. I like to think I contributed, in some way.

Good job triaging.

Well, you caused me exactly 3 minutes work, would have been nice and a real contribution if you would have looked for dupes before submitting :)
