Click target of Additional Artists string to be the artists

Feature description:

Hi, just a small one that I think would make sense to most people regarding one of the default strings for Now Playing.

I think Additional Artists would make sense to link to the artists listed when clicked, rather than the more information sheet.

This one is a bit techy.

I presume the rebuttal will be that you can use a custom string to display the same information & then have that same information link you to wherever you’d like (within the available options). As such there’s less insentive / reason to change the default setup because the ball is still in your court & every user may or may not aggree with your proposed link destination.

Yes, I recognise that, and it’s not a big deal. Just was not what I intuitively expected, and I reckon most would want the same for this specific example. Would make it consistent with the other artists type strings.

I dont disagree. We’ll just have to wait for the final verdict lol.

Additional artists can be multiple things, so the click would not be predictable.

There’s ways now to control precisely what it do for your specific needs.

Yeah I thought this might be the case. Didn’t know if it was possible to have a sheet displaying all the different additional artists together anyway (composers, album artists etc). I understand. And yes, it’s not a problem for me personally, I will just use a custom string as I don’t use composer tags.

Not at all? Not even for extra info? You totally should.

I started using my composer field for samples & interpolations which honestly came about because i genuinely wanted a way to tag track & have it appear on two seperate albums at once.

Currently this is not possible & would likely be a nightmare but adding sample & interpolation tags meant that any tracks that share that info have a sort of spider-web connection & thus i can easily jump to those tracks as i wish.

That’s a good use for it. I use genre tags for that
