    Trouble with Artists in Album Context menus in 7.6

    I'm having some trouble with artists in album context menus in 7.6, not sure whether this is a onebrowser thing or independent of that.

    The trouble is that the context menu shows an "Artist: ...." entry for EACH artist of the album.
    Sounds like a good idea but can kill you under certain circumstances, especially for e.g. compilations with lots of artists.

    My example may be a bit extreme, yet it's currently a PIA for me:
    What I'm trying to do here is to play an album that contains the SXSW showcases for a year and the way I usually listen to this (you can't play it as a whole since it kills the 500-item-playlist-limit that I don't want to change) is that I run it through a dynamic playlist.
    Now with 7.6 I can't get to the menu item for the Dynamic playlist plugin because above it there are around 1,200 entries for different artists....

    I think you get the point. Would it be possible to move these "Artists: ..." menus to a submenu in case there is more than one artist for an album?

    Err... yes.
    I believe it may indeed be that bug although I wasn't referring to the web UI but SqueezePlay in this case.

    But yes, probably really the same thing.
