Bug 499491

Usually, several Artists work on one Album or the Album is an Compilation. For that use case, most Music Players sort by Album Artist in the Artist view and not the Actual Artist of the Song.

For example i have an Album called AD:HOUSE 6, from an Artist called "Diverse Systems". This Artist does not show up in the Artist few, instead every Artist that worked on this Album is shown independently, so 15 Artists. So its impossible to find this Album via Artist --> Album approach, i have to go in the Album view.

As i have too many albums, this is simply not usable. Sorting Albums by Album Artist should be the default imho but at least an option. The Artist View shows me several hundred artists and so is basically not usable as i never heard of most of these people and even if, if i click on them, i just get like 3 songs spread over 3 different album.

I've seen several related bugs that are all based on this issue like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=484556 that would all be fixed by changing this behavior.
