I am proposing that the Artist do you have a means of filtering out Artists only found on compilations. This filter would apply to any Artist where their Album field strictly has an Album Artist field of “Various Artists,” “Original Soundtrack,” etc.
In Album Artists, I have about 850 different bands and groups. I have a lot of dance compilations, also, which means my Artists view has about 2500 artists. Probably 99% of the Artists not in the Album Artists view belong to such compilations.
This is a little frustrating because I use the Artist field to contain the values for individual artists on split EPs and collaborations. The band The Body (and the metal scene in general) is a good case, because they have dozens of collaborations where it’s nice to see the album in eithers’ music when browsing in the Albums view. A filter like this would allow me to browse by bands or musicians that collaborate with others frequently. Inversely, it would cut out some of the spam in Album Artists where bands like The Body have 10 entries from their collaborations with others.
