What we really need is to:
- List all albums for the contributor
- Group the list into different sections by contributor role
- Sort each section in alphabetic order
However, I also think it depends on the menus.
- My Music/Composers/Contributor1 should probably only list albums where
the contributor acts as a composer because if you enter this menu you
are really looking for work composed by the selected contributor.
- My Music/Artists/Contributor1 and My Music/Album Artists/Contributor1
should list all albums where the contributor participates but group them
by role and sort the sections:
-- 1. Albums where contributor is album artist
-- 2. Albums where contributor is artist
-- 3. Albums where contributor is band
-- 4. Albums where contributor is composer
-- 5. Albums where contributor is conductor
This would make it easy to find both albums where the artist is the main
artists and albums where the artists just acts as a featured artist on
one or two tracks.
