In pane view, for each album, it has a title that says "some Album name by Unknown Artist"
This is because, for many albums artist is empty. Album Artist is what I use for the album artist, not artist. So Album artist is always populated,
artist is only populated when there is a guest artist on a song.
Is there any way to change the title so that it will display album artist instead of artist?
Thank you.

It requires you to create a custom field, but you can change it.
1. Go to: Tools → Options → Library & Folders → Manage Library Fields…
2. Add a new field, and give it a name like: _hdr_Album Artist
3. Set it to use calculated data, and paste the following code in the Expression box:
Delimit([Year], /]/ , /[)[Album]Delimit([Album Artist (auto)],, / by/ )
This can be customized however you like, but I believe that should display what you want.
4. Click the arrow pointing down at the top of the view and select: Group By → More (sort groups a-z) → _hdr_Album Artist

Thank you! I learned a lot with that example.
