Describe the bug
In a case where there are multiple ALBUMARTIST tags,and IS_COMPILATION=T, the (Material Skin) album view displays only the first of the artists. For the example where the artist initials are MA and NM, the four cases are

  1. IS_COMPILATION=F; ALBUM_ARTIST=MA;NM
  • All soloists, conductors, composer displayed under Album
  1. IS_COMPILATION=T; ALBUM_ARTIST=MA;NM
  • Just MA displayed under Album.
  1. IS_COMPILATION=T; ALBUM_ARTIST=null
  • "Various Artists" displayed under Album.
  1. IS_COMPILATION=F; ALBUM_ARTIST=null
  • "Various Artists" displayed under Album.

The behaviour in cases 1,3, and 4 is good, but in case 2, surely both (all) ALBUM_ARTISTS should be displayed.

To Reproduce
Example is https://musicbrainz.org/release/17317dd0-1234-45b8-9904-2dd30d07a46a
(I can supply a link to tagged files on request)

  1. Scan album.
  2. Navigate to release view for album
  3. See error
  4. Navigate to Album Information
  5. Note that both MA and NM are the two Album artists.

Expected behavior
I think both/all ALBUMARTISTS should be displayed
