This is not a bug but a feature. Just change the collection browser sorting to your needs. I'm confused. There does not seem to be an option to remove the track artist from the view when it appears in "Various Artists" tracks, and the issue has nothing to do with sorting. Have I missed something? Just use the Sort options in the Collection Browser and set it to album in the first level, and none in the second and third level. Works fine here on all my Various Artist albums. This doesn't appear to be working for me. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v683/rainesabaal/Bugs/amarok_bug276039_01.png I have the collection sorted as you describe, but the artists are still visible inline with the track titles. If they are not visible for you, I am inclined to believe something is wrong in the Gentoo ebuild or in some "hidden" settings left over from the previous Amarok version. Is there somewhere I should be looking in the source or configuration files to change this setting? My bad, I was checking on a wrong album with only one artist so this was not showing. I can confirm this is not changeable with sorting differently, unlike the other albums with only on artist. Setting status correctly, confirmed in current git. Seems to be a feature. I change the severity to "wish" If this should become implemented one day, please make it configurable. I think to have the artist shown like it is atm. is very useful. I would like to have the artist shown also whenever a track has an artist which differs from the album artist. The current situation in the collection browser: Situation: An album, on all files the "album artist" tag is "Artist XYZ", but on some the "artist" tag is "Artist XYZ feat. ABC". The album is shown in the collection browser in the second level beneath "Artist XYZ" (1st level is set to album artist, 2nd level to album). Unless I introduce a third level (which I don't want to, because it would be overkill for all other albums and would also mess up the track ordering), I have no way to see the whole artist tag. So to have in this case the behaviour of the tracks currently in a compilation would be nice. But I guess for this I have to open a new wish. Just for reference: Wish filed under bug 284101: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284101 Git commit 5b43ce29c392311f06727f45d60b0d196a88c85b by Tuomas Nurmi. Committed on 04/05/2024 at 18:24. Pushed by nurmi into branch 'master'. Add configuration option for showing artist in various artist cases As demonstrated by the bug reports, this is something where one solution does not fit all. So add a configuration option; probably - and hopefully - the users who want to see artist in various artists compilations also want to see them when artist differs from album artist, and vice versa. Options should be added with care, but I think this one is definitely justified.
