Music Library not displaying Track Artist


Recommended Posts

I've noticed a problem with the music library not displaying the Track Artist for tracks where the Track Artist is the same as the Album Artist.

In the example below, i am looking at Anjunabeats Vol 16 disc2, both tracks by Above & Beyond do not display the track artist, even though it is embedded in the file (as you can see in the Edit popup for the first example track "Chains")

Looking through other albums in the library, i see the same behaviour. Track Artist isn't displayed with the track if the Track Artist is the same as the album artist. I haven't seen this behaviour in any media player software before, so i expect it isn't intentional. While it doesn't impact playback, it does create a feeling of uncertainty about whether Emby is correctly handling the metadata i have embedded in my media. It would be better if Track Artist was displayed for all tracks.

If AlbumArtist and Artists are the same, it will not appear in that view.

But at the same time, you do see in Folder View.

Pretty sure it is by design but @Lukewould have to confirm.

HI, yes that is by current design, although thinking about it again, maybe we should always show it anytime the album has more than one artist.
