as the title says, if a record has a track which artist tag features a feat, that feat is shown in the artist view...in my opinion this artist should only be shown in the tracklist and not in the artist view since is not a real artist. an example is in the screen where 2 artists have a record with 1 feat each and they are shown in the artist viewimage description

What's the content of the ID3 tags?

album artist should be (for example) kings of convenience, and artist, the same, except for that feat where artist is kings of convenience feat feist, and the same for the goo goo dolls...

Have you tried unplayer app from openrepos? It's should be better than Jolla's player.

It's not complete yet Imo some features missing like support for .cue files and can't delete music tracks from player itself.

tried it but it tend to separate songs so for example the song with a feat will be present only in the artist which has a feat and not in the album itself...seems that the jolla stock player is the only one that organize music in a decent way...

It has already been reported a long time ago. Jolla should opensource those apps. I've switched to QuasarMX. https://together.jolla.com/question/141857/wiki-improvement-suggestions-for-the-current-media-player/
