Bug: Artist filter tag should be "albumartist" instead of "artist" #111

Describe the bug

As an end user, I expect the app to follow metadata standards for music players. Tag "albumartist" > "artist" is a known standard and what users expect.

Why is this a problem
Artist A released an album under his label and name. The album features other B, C artists. The "albumartist" tag will be equal to "A" for all tracks in the album, whereas "artist" tag will be different for each track depending on the main + featured artists

When filtering by "artist" tag the tracks that should be under the albumartist end up scattered around featured artists which turns the whole music library into a mes

To Reproduce

  1. Save an album
  2. Add the same albumartist tag to all tracks
  3. Add different artist tag to tracks
  4. Open Lotus
  5. Go to "Artists" tab

Expected behavior

The artist are listed by albumartist tag
