Regarding the recent Album_Artist support, i just noticed that the option you choose in settings (Artist or Album_Artist display) unfortunately also affects the search.
That kinda makes sense as it's like a filter applied, so as soon as you have chosen one display mode, the other mode is like not here anymore.
But then, if you' re in Album_Artist display mode and want to search for an artist that would only be in the Artist tag, then you have to switch back to Artist display mode in order to find it
That is really not practical IMHO.
I understand this probably might be a more important UI re-design but it would have defnitely be better if the Album_Artist would not have been a setting option but just a new tab addition in the top bar. There is indeed enough room for adding a new icon in the top bar, i'm just adding a screen i made showing how this could look like :
Basically it's like providing Album_Artist
'AND' Artist instead of
'OR'.
In France, we prefer Caviar and Champagne instead of Caviar or Champagne
I would see at least 2 benefits for dealing with Album_Artists this way :
1° Switching between Artist and Album_Artist would be way faster (no need to go through settings)
2° Search should be working at the same time for Artist and Album_Artist (again, without requiring to change settings)
Not sure what others members in here might think about this ?
I hope
@FiiO can take this suggestion into consideration for a future update.
Maybe if several members want this too, they will seriously consider updating this... ?
