"Featured artists" and "Composers" rows in album about section

Feature description:

“Featured artists” and “Composers” rows in the about section of an album, where the artists featured on the albums tracks, besides the main artist, are listed and easily accessible. Similarly, a “Composers” row with the albums composers listed. This could be similar to the “Artists” tab, where the thumbnails are visible, or the view you get when you click on the artists line on the now playing tab.

Problem solved:

Difficult to see and access the featured artists/composers on an album without looking through all the tracks, even with the “display composer” feature turned on. This would compile them in a way that’s easy for user access.

Brought benefits:

More easily accessible information, it allows the user the quickly see what artists are featured on an album and what composers are on it, as well as clicking on them to quickly access their page.

I like this idea. I’d also like to propose a small numerical counter in the UI somewhere

It’s often nice to see the stats (at least for me). I currently have my album descriptions tally up the number of specific types of artists within the tags. This addition takes my idea to a new level though as we’d be able to interact with said artists.


I think it would be cool to have Remix Artists denoted separately but I don’t believe Symfonium is currently reading a remix artist tag, my files happen to be tagged very specifically so I can isolate & calculate the number of remix artists I have. Seeing these artists in the featured artists section would still be a net positive IMO, way more functionality than what I currently have.
