[Feature Request] Show all tracks for a particular artist

Open rickyelopez opened this issue 5 months ago • 2 comments

So far I'm loving this program! One of the only things that is missing that I would really love to have (which, to be fair, I don't think many streaming services off), is to be able to view all tracks from a particular artist.

I've looked around everywhere that I can on the artist's page to no avail. I've also tried just searching for the artist on the "Tracks" page, but it seems like it only searches in the track names and not in the artists.

Would it be possible to get either:

  • On an Artist's page, a button to just see all tracks that are credited to that artist
  • A way to select which fields the search function on the Tracks page actually searches for your keyword

Open to other suggestions as well! Maybe someone else has a better idea.

On the artist page, you can hit play: it will populate the play queue with all the tracks of this artist, even non-album tracks. Is that what you need?

Yes I have been using this as a workaround, but it's kind of a bummer to have to mess up my play queue by doing this. I found something of a solution by leveraging smartplaylists in beet, which I configured to produce a playlist for some of the artists I frequently browse in this way. Works fine, but I would still prefer if there was a way to do it directly in LMS instead of having to add configuration for a smartplaylist for each artist.

Honestly, even just being able to search for artists on the "Tracks" page would be plenty if that's doable!
