StephanK Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hello! I am new here but think I have found a bug. I have build-925-bundle-play [925004-e493ac43] on a LG G7 ThinQ, Android 10. I have a lot of sampler albums and trying them to be shown as "Various". According to the FAQ I set the "Album Artist" tag accordingly. Using the "Album-Interpreten" menu they are shown as expected, see Screenshot_20220307-190619.jpg When I open the same album using the "Alben" menu it is shown as in Screenshot_20220307-190635.png using one of the tack's Artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 That is the default behaviour by design. However you can change it using the various Album Artist settings in Settings > Library > Lists. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanK Posted March 8, 2022 Author Share Posted March 8, 2022 Thank you, Andre, for your quick response! That's what I was looking for. Wouldn't this setting be a more reasonable default? Showing the Artist of an arbitrary track for the whole album seems not very intuitive when there is another choice available:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Max has a preference for not making new features the default state, as that can confuse existing users when the app suddenly starts doing something differently - and then you get the whole Who Moved My Cheese complaint cycle. However in this specific case, I can't see any possible usage reason why anyone would want to see a random track artist's name displayed in the Album header if there is an Album Artist tag available. Similarly in the Albums list; assuming an Album Artist is available, I can see no logical reason to display a random song artist in the Albums list view. I think that feature ought to be turned on by default for new installs. Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
