Thanks, Simon. One day I hope to be able to ask an *intelligent* question :-)

I was thinking about your Jazz use case above. I don't, and probably will never, have my tracks tagged to that level of detail, but if I did then I'm still not quite sure that the given approach is optimal. It may be all that's feasible, of course....

So if I sit down and think "I feel like a bit of Oscar Peterson", then my understanding is that the options available to me are that if I go in through the Album Artist interface, then I will see only those albums where OP has his name on the cover. If I go through the Artist interface, then I will see nothing extra, because the tracks where he's backing, say, Ella Fitzgerald won't be shown because the AlbumArtist field is filled in with her name. If I go through All Artists, then I'll find him, but I'll be presented with a choice screen saying (for example, I'm making this up) 10 Albums and 160 items. Where many of those 160 items are the items that make up the albums.

What I'd actually like is for it to offer me a list of 10 Albums to browse and 60 *other* items that aren't included in that list of 10 albums.

Does that make any sense? As I say, it's not a live use case for me personally because I don't have that level of tagging set up....

Not sure what you want to do.
Searching my music "Oscar Peterson" shows different albums with different leaders. You would like something similar?
