    Composers in All Artist List

    I'm in the process of trying to sort my artist tags and being confused (very easy to do!) as composers also appear in the all artist list.

    I can't find anywhere to stop this behaviour - is it possible to prevent composers being shown?

    I suspect that I may be missing something obvious but maybe not.

    Thanks

    In Settings > My Music, check whether the Composers box is ticked in the "Composer, Band and Orchestra in Artists" section.

      In my setup, Composers box is not ticked.

      Assume Johannes Brahms is the Composer, and Radu Lupu is performing Piano Sonata No. 3.

      Composer tag = Brahms, Johannes
      Album tag = Piano Sonata No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5
      Artist tag = ?

      Is Artist tag = Radu Lupu, the Composer's name appears nowhere in the Now Playing screen of LMS or Orange Squeeze (or any other apps I've used).
      If Artist tag is left blank, "No Artist" appears on the Now Playing screen.

      Is there a solution?

          Ah OK I see how to get it - and on that option composer is not ticked.

          Have tried with that option selected and it hasn't made any difference - still getting composers in the all artist list.

            Are you using two lists or a single configurable list of artists?

              I was using two seperate lists - just trying single configurable list - while this does not include composers in the list it only seems to have Album artists.

              I have lots of compilation albums so have a lot of artists that don't have albums so a large number of artist don't appear in the single album list

              Would probably get used to a single list IF it showed all the artists.

                Um - if I tick the "List compilation albums under each artist" option then the artist list shows all artists - not sure what effect this will have elsewhere though.

                I'll use it like this for a bit and see how I go..

                  Is it possible to have selected "use two separate lists for Albums Artists and All Artists" and NOT have composer data show up under artists?

                    I have separate lists for composers, artists, conductors, bands (i.e. orchestras) and album artists (very few of those), as typical for classical music.

                    I have set "Separate lists for album artists and all artists".

                    The lists are all behaving well, I just had to do one trick in order to prevent LMS from showing "No artist" if the artist field was empty (only band and/or conductor filled): I filled all empty album artist fields with a special space (ASCII 255) so it thinks that there is an artist. That is all.

                    I can give more details about the settings if you are interested.

                        Maybe the "Filter contributor roles" does the trick.

                        If you change settings, it could be that you need to clear whole library and rescan everything to see the change....

                          I realise this is a pretty late reply, but I was bugged by this too. What you can do, is create an "Additional Browse" mode named "Artists" that has "ALBUMARTIST, ARTIST, TRACKARTIST" as the "Contributor Roles". Then you just need to configure the player to show this new "Artists" mode and "Album Artists" but not "All Artists"
                          Material debug: 1. Launch via http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json (Use http: //SERVER:9000/material/?debug=json,cometd to also see update messages, e.g. play queue) 2. Open browser's developer tools 3. Open console tab in developer tools 4. REQ/RESP messages sent to/from LMS will be logged here.

                            This is my problem as well, but how do you configure the player to show just one list for Artist that contains Album Artists & Track Artists but No composers.

                              Use a single list and only choose "Artists" in additional browse modes
