Feature Description

A way to view all artists in ones collection and when clicking on one to show all albums by that artist.

Problem

No way to view all songs by an artist in ones collection.

(slightly off topic) Also the search function doesn't seem to be able to search for content in the artist field of the metadata. When I search for an artist nothing shows up even though I can see the artist on the homepage (lmk if I should open an issue 4 this)

Solution

The solution would be an option in the sidebar or in the existing album view to group by artists, as well as clicking on an artists name, where ever it is displayed to view all songs by an artist.

Potential Issues

An issue I've yet to see an elegant solution for collaborative albums with no single artist as the album artist.
(ex. Artist1, Artist2 & Artist3)
All programs I've seen so far treat these as one single separate artist.
This is fine for library management folder structure but cumbersome when viewing collaborative albums in music software since a collab album will show up under none of the artists' tab.

I think the best way to solve this is to compare to existing artists in the library, when an albums metadata conforms to set patterns: [Artist1, Artist2 & Artist3] [Artist1, Artist2] [Artist1; Artist2] [Artist1 & Artist2] [Artist1 x Artist2] [Artist1 X Artist2] [Artist1 / Artist2] (all pulled from my personal lib).

Comparing to existing artists in the lib would eliminate edge cases where an actual artists name could fit that pattern.

This way a collaborative album would show up under each respective artists (page/grouping/tab?) instead of being split off into its own category.
