Description Ben Sandee 2005-08-08 15:17:57 UTC

The search fields should take into account the TRACKARTIST field so that
searches for artist names who contribute to a soundtrack or other various artist
albums are possible.

Ideally those tracks would somehow be seamlessly integrated into the search
results, not sure how.

We'll need an additional pref for this - as right now it's based on if 'Show Composer, Conductor, etc' is set 
or not.

Comment 2 Jim McAtee 2005-09-02 20:27:06 UTC

Either don't base it on a pref at all (I can't think of why when someone 
searches for artists they wouldn't want track artists in that list) or add an 
additional pref under the 'You can choose to hide artists that are "track 
artists"...'.  My suggestion would be to make this two prefs and display them 
as checkboxes.

You can choose to include or hide artists that are "track artists"...
