I just tested something and perhaps I don't understand the difference between how Artist and Album Artist is supposed to work.
My track is: Go Betweens - Friends of Rachel Worth - 09 - Going Blind.mp3
For the heck of it, I added "Various" as Album Artist in the tags. Now I understand that if I view this in Media View under Album Artist/Album, I will get Various > Friends of Rachel Worth. However, I am looking simply under Artist/Album, and still it shows up under Various > Friends of Rachel Worth rather than Go Betweens > Friends of Rachel Worth.
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

We use "Album Artist" on all the default views but still call it "Artist". That way people get the added power without making things look more confusing.

A related aside.
When searching;
using alar=[something], shows in the summary as alartist=[something], and no results show.
using albumar=[something], shows in the summary as albumartist=[something], and but still no results show.
using albumartist=[something] shows in the summary as albumartist=[something], and results show as they should.
Also, is there a list somewhere of abreviated search terms like ar for artist, al for album etc?
-
There will be a list in the help file. (Lise
)
For now, albumartist= is the only defined keyword for "Album Artist"
We can add more fairly easily though, so if there are some people would like, just speak up.
Thanks.

Matt,
Is there a list somewhere of abbreviated search terms like 'ar' for artist, 'al' for album etc., so that I can include it in the help file?
