Bug Description

When sorting by album, if an album has tracks by two or more artists, it splits the album like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PklpQLo4umk

This makes sort-by-album completely useless unless every track in the album is by the same artist. An "ignore artist tag when in album view" option would fix this. (This doesn't mean the artist couldn't be displayed below the album, and could be decided by the dominant artist of said album)

Version used is git-master but not really relevant.

I can confirm this in Ubuntu 18.10. A workaround: There are two tags you can set, the "artist" and the "album artist" tag. As long as the "album artist" is the same, each song of it can have a different "artists" and it is still displayed as one album.

Changed in gnome-music (Ubuntu):
status: New → Confirmed
