Implement 'Album Artist' view in the library

[sammko]

I implemented an Album Artist library view (#82). I am, however, having one problem with this patch, which I cannot figure out how to fix. When I select the view in the library, I end up with an Untagged entry at the bottom of the list, which fails to open. Thanks for any help with that.

Hi,

Thanks for the patch and for diving into library.py 😰 I'm just to skim over the patch, since the code (in Sonata) is really horrendous, and needs a huge, huge, huge refactoring.

So, I tested your branch, and it seems there's still some problem.

First, I can't find my tracks which are tagged with the albumartist tag correctly set (I use Various Artists), the albums simply don't appear in Sonata.
Also, I also have the "Untagged" entry, which I think should just not be here.

I can try to have a look at the code to see where your problem is, but that will take some time.

(Probably an easier way, if you are into it, would be to first refactor the library module, then implement your new functionality 😁 If you are interested or curious, just drop me an email and I can give you some guidance before you start.)
