Thanks for opening this bug. Indeed composer is missing. I would like first to finish making the list of views configurable before adding more default ones. I am not sure I really understand your point about "artist" or "album artist". Could you please explain it a bit more ? Here https://www.blisshq.com/music-library-management-blog/2010/10/12/how-to-use-album_artist/ is written about the albumartist tag. There is a rival elisa in gnome called lollypop. Lollypop uses the "album artist" tag to sort. Many players use this particular tag for sorting. And the tag "artist" is displayed only in the list of albums and playlist. I have been using this tag for a long time while editing and can not imagine how I can do without it. The "artist" vs "album artist" distinction is relevant mostly in the case of compilations, where you have an album with one album artist but many artists. I agree that overall "Album Artist" is a better way to sort as it improves the display for compilations but does not negatively affect the common case of non-compilation single-artist albums.

There are many other uses for this tag. For example, in electronic music, when the author creates remixes of other people's tracks. This tag is also convenient for specifying duets for individual tracks. I have very few compilation, but many other uses of this tag. There's more explanation for Album Artist in Bug 407964. Let's use this to track sorting by Composer. I've been waiting for this for a long time. *** Bug 442895 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Are there any news? |
