Author Topic: How to Sort by an Artist of any kind?  (Read 1703 times)

I often want to browse to a certain artist in the column browser - and don't bother if it is placed in artist, guest artist or album artist.

While MB gathers artist, guest artist etc. (split artist) into the same artist column - it does not with album artist.

Is there any way I don't know off to get all (split) artists and album artists alltogether merged into one column?

I don't think that's possible. <Artists> includes all kind of artists except album artist.

Hi Redwing,

from a technical point of view there is no difference: all kinds of artists are tagged in different and individual tags, which were then collected by the routines of MB. I.e. GUEST ARTIST is an individual TXXX/GUEST_ARTIST-tag. No technical reason to not include album artist in the artists collection also. At least no one I can see at the moment.

Maybe the reason is more semantic ...
