Artist page mockup. Albums by the artist, and albums featuring the artist are separated. There is a section for tracks that have the artist tag set, but don't have an album tag. (151.96 KB, image/png)

SUMMARY

Tracks without album information do not appear when clicking on artist name in artist view.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch to artist view.
2. Click on an artist where the associated tracks to not have album information.
3. Elisa says "nothing to display".
4. However, when clicking on the "play" button overlay on the artist icon, the track(s) get added to the playlist and are being played.

OBSERVED RESULT

"Nothing to display" (because there are not albums)

EXPECTED RESULT

The track(s) should be shown, i.e., the "album" level should be skipped, jumping to a list of tracks.

Some music apps have an artists page that show the albums and tracks in two separate lists. (Typically the albums are a grid view, and tracks are a list view). I think that would be a good way of fixing this problem.

I made a quick mockup of a potential new artists page. I also split the albums into "Albums by <artist>" and "Albums featuring <artist>" since this is something that bugs me.
