I'm relatively new to Neutron, I bought and installed on my iBasso DX160 DAP in August. I have refrained from asking any learning curve questions until now as I am stumped.
My preference when browsing is to keep the Albumartist list. However when searching I'd prefer to be able to search for any artist. With the current method, any Artist found in a compilation only is ignored when I do a search. Is there a way that I haven't been able to find that allows the Group by Album Artist and Split Album by Album Artist to remain active while leaving the individual track Artist available in a search?
Search Artist when Group by Album Artist is Selected
Re: Search Artist when Group by Album Artist is Selected
I don't think that's possible in Neutron. As far as I know it's as you describe it : you can decide what to use as artist ( album artist tag or artist tag, by switching "Media Library > Group by Album Artist" on or off ), and the other tag is ignored. We could move this topic to the development forum and propse eg to extend Neutron's functionality to include the other artist field in its search.
Re: Search Artist when Group by Album Artist is Selected
Thanks for the confirmation, unfortunately not what I was hoping to hear.
Switching back and forth wouldn't necessarily be terrible, but it then requires a full scan as well that takes some time. Then switching back doubles that.
Maybe someday. Perhaps moving this thread would get the ball rolling.

Proposal : make both artist tags searchable
Situation: the user has to decide whether to use album artist or artist
Problem: only the chosen data field is searchable
Proposal: make the contents of both artist and album artist tags searchable

I was just coming to make this request and saw this so I just want to add my support for this to be added as well. Thanks.
Re: Proposal : make both artist tags searchable
Bumping this proposal. Definitely the one thing that I find frustrating with Neutron. Other apps show both an Artist and and AlbumArtist list. Perhaps that would be the best solution for Neutron?
