For a few track artists, it's quite nice, as the artist links are hyperlinked. Eg, Album Artist: Page and Plant, Track Artists: Jimmy Page, Robert Plant. But you're right. I just checked my UNKLE - Reconstructions album, and the album info page shows: Album Artist: UNKLE Track Artist: Placebo, Blur, Massive Attack, Garbage, Ian Brown, Stina Nordenstam, Beck, Breakbeat Era, The Verve, Cornelius, Tortoise Album: Reconstructions And this is looking a little messy. If I were to look at a various artists album, it just says Compilation: Yes, and doesn't bother to display any artists at all. I've always considered an album with album artist defined to be like a compilation album, as it groups songs by different artists under a single artist. This is similar to compilations, but the artist is a specific artist, not "various artists". Perhaps it should only show albumartist and not track artists. I believe that is an enhancement request though - I think it's always showed all track artists. [I'm not too bothered by it - it's not necessarily wrong, but for a long album with lots of contributors, it will sure get messy].
