Cheers, I am using Rhythmbox in 2015. Let me explain why.

1. It is extremely clean, which I love and this also fits my Lubuntu
System. Banshee is not nice to look at.

2. It is supporting the folders of my NAs that I mount via SMB. Amarok
and GKTpod do not provide this.

That's why i decided to use it even after I recognised that I cannot
sort my compilations via albumartist. I decided to override all the
artists with only one. I like a simpe structure. But it feels wrong to
not have access to the real artists of the songs any more.

So I really would ask for someone to code this. Rhythmbox is an awesome
client and fits extremely well into the whole Lubuntu world.

Thank you very much,
Ben

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.
