No bumping please, no complaining for heavens sake , no asking nicely -
how dare you!

Well 7 years of an open bug is not fixed because the devs do not
understand the problem...

Sure they have any right to not do anything about it. That's why I
ditched rhythmbox years ago, just came around to check whether anything
happens here... lol... I guessed so.

Whatever the "upstream" procedure is here - obviously it doesn't help anyone. 
Great system of developing! And that's why we can't have nice things. 

You devs have done a great job 10 years ago, since then..., meh... not so much... 
Rhythmbox still feels 10 years old and users can not sort by album artist if they so desire - funny kind of freedom.... 

Cheers, p.

Title:
  Rhythmbox sort by "Album Artist" for guest/compilations

Status in Rhythmbox:
  Confirmed
Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  For guest artists on an album or compilations Apple allows definition
  of an album artist and artist for each track.  Rhythmnbox only allows
  browsing by track artists so many artists appear listed with only one
  track.

  Example, Red Book by Texas:

  1. 036 - Texas
  2. Getaway - Texas
  3. Can't Resist - Texas
  4. What About Us - Texas
  5. Cry - Texas
  6. Sleep - Texas featuring Paul Buchanan
  7. Get Down Tonight - Texas
  8. Nevermind - Texas
  9. Bad Weather - Texas
  10. Master Thief - Texas
  11. Just Holding On - Texas
  12. Red Book  - Texas

  The sixth track has artist "Texas featuring Paul Buchanan" whilst all
  others are "Texas".

  I want to browse by album artist selecting "Texas" and seeing all 12
  tracks on the album, not just the 11 that match.
