[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 776714] Re: Compilation artists should not be listed in artists view separately

[Oliver]

Actually, there was a 2.9.1 release very close to 2.6.2, but its changes
log does not list any work done on the album artist issue. So far Ubuntu
doesn't distribute this 2.9.1 at least not in 14.04...

Title:
  Compilation artists should not be listed in artists view separately

Status in banshee package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  This might be a part of other usability improvement request, but I had not found an explicit bug report for this.
  Consider having a huge compilation album from some festival with hundreds of tracks by different performers. This will make Artists view very hard to browse. As suggested in related question[1] this could be fixed by putting some text into "Compilation album artist" field. An elegant solution, but should not Banshee have an embedded solution for that? Many other players do (see screenshot[2] of Clementine, for example).
