Re: [Banshee-List] Compilation Album Artist

["Chris Van Steenlandt" <Chris vansteenlandt telenet be>]

For a compilation album you will see one album in the 'album browser'  
(which makes perfect sence :-). However, in the 'Track artist browser' you  
will stil see all the different Track artists for this one album (again,  
this is logical since the browser is about TRACK artists). For the moment,  
there is no 'Album Artist browser' in Banshee. A great GUI solution exists  
for this but is not implemented yet (Gabriel once made a mock up of it and  
if I find the time I will start working on it, don't expect anything very  
soon from me though ...)
