Search Album Artist / Album

[kali]

Hallo,

I have a problem in searching Album Artist/Album (Advanced Search) because only one album from an artist is displayed. When I click on this, the others are shown.
For instance: I have 4 albums from Dire Straits, but only one is shown in the search. When I click on this, all 4 are displayed, but I would prefer to see all albums. I think this is in the General Settings, but which one?

Thankful for hints!

Sounds like your tree is a little messed up, what is the tree design set to for Album Artist / Album and its children?

Hallo Spoon,

I think it is all default:

Artist / Album > Child Album
Album Artist / Album > Child Album

How are you searching? you are browsing Artist (from root menu) then select album?

No, my preferred search is Album Artist, because in Artist too many albums shows up with the artists from the Compilations etc.

So I go to "Advanced Search" and than "Album Artist / Album" (would be fine to have this search in the root menu).
Than I get the Album Artists, but only one album is shown, even if I have several albums from this artist. When I click on this "sample" album, the others are displayed, but sometimes I don't know if I have more albums of a certain artist.

For a better understanding I made a screenshot and a screenshot how Kazoo displays the albums.

You are not viewing Albums at this point, only Album Artists e.g. You only have 1 Album Artist named Art of Noise (Asset just takes a random album cover to display at this point). Clicking on the Album Artist, displays Albums for that Album Artist.

Ok, I understand.

But how can I search all albums sorted by album artists??

For me this is a normal way to organize a CD-collection.

Any ideas?
