Can't view all album songs when an artist is selected

[Ilmari Vacklin]

When you right click on a song and select 'Browse album' (roughly - I'm running it in Finnish), RB shows the songs on the album by that artist. This doesn't work for albums with multiple artists.

In short, I'd like to be able to double click on the album name in the album pane, which would move the artist selection to 'all artists', and select the album, so that all the songs on that album would become visible.

Thanks for your bug. When right clicking on a song you have the option to browse the album or the artist, the "select album" option doesn't work? What version of Ubuntu do you use? Is that somewhat the same issue than http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=318579 upstream?

Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the ambiguous "doesn't work" in the original report.

The "select album" option works, but doesn't move the artist selection to "all artists", so on compilation albums you don't get the whole album.

The upstream bug does look relevant, although it would probably be easier just to move the artist selection to "all artists" when the user selects "select album".

By the way, the Finnish translation of "select album" is more like "browse album", which gives a stronger impression that you'll get _all_ the songs on that album, not only those by the currently selected artists. "Select album" doesn't give quite as strong an impression.

Moving the artist selection to "all artists" and renaming the rightclick action to "browse album" might be a good fix, although it'll remove the functionality to browse only the current artist's songs on that album. The smart VA handling would be good here.

If you need more info, please ask.

No extra details required, I've forwarded the comments upstream with a pointer to the launchpad bug
