Option to skip loading Composers from Music tracks.

[Vicpa 611]

Hi

For the moment I want Emby to skip (exclude ?) composer/writer etc tags when scanning music tracks. 

Maybe something on the library settings screen. A checkbox  Include Composers

My objective is not to create any new composer credits.  

Why you may ask? Short answer is major negative impact of including (treating?) them the same as an Artist. Long answer will be in a seperate FR.

Thanks,

Hi, sounds like a reasonable option to add.

Hi @Luke

Is this a big effort? A true/false setting in a config file would be fine until you get a chance to add something to the UI. 

Of course I am happy to test.

It would be great if this can be added in a point update to the release version.

Yes it could be added as a library option.

In a 4.7.x release?

Would like to see this change too. An option to exclude composers from appearing as artists would be ideal. For me it hinders searching as I have a lot of cover versions containing composer credits.

When I listen to classical music, the composer is how i wish to search but I don't like them included with the artists.
