[SlimDevices: Beta] Composer behaviour causes tracks to "disappear"

[oreillymj]

Using the most recent nightly (and earlier nightlies) on WinXP, I
noticed the following.

I have 2 albums by Bruce Springsteen.
One is tagged normally.
The other is tagged normally but also has composer info etc.

Slimserver knows that album 2 is the from the same artist as album 1
but does not display it.

I can't "see" the album in Browse Artists or Albums, but can find it by
doing a search for Bruce.

Now if I go to Server Settings->Behaviour and enabled the Composer tick
box in "COMPOSER, BAND AND ORCHESTRA IN ARTISTS", album 2 appears in the
UI.

I would expect with these 3 tick boxes unchecked, Slimserver would
still default to displaying albums by artists with composer info in the
album tags. But it seems if the track has composer info, it will be
"invisible" in the UI unless the appropriate option is ticked.


Maybe another option to just use Artist is required in the list as
below, enabled by default.

Composer 
Conductor 
Band/Orchestra
X Artist - Albums by Artists are shown by default.


Then users with lots of classical music with the additional tags can
disable the Artist option.
