Tracks with Multiple Artists Cause Duplicate Albums

Issue description:

Issue Summary
​The player incorrectly uses the track-level “Artist” field for album grouping, leading to a single album being duplicated in the library if one track has a different artist listing (e.g., a feature artist) than the others.
​Expected Behavior
​Album grouping must be based primarily on the “Album Title” or “Album Artist” metadata. All tracks with the same album title should be merged into one single album entry.
​Reproduction Steps (Example)
​Import 12-track album: The Life of a Showgirl (Title consistent for all tracks).
​Track 1-11 Artist: Taylor Swift.
​Track 12 Artist: Taylor Swift;Sabrina Carpenter.
​Result: Two separate album entries titled The Life of a Showgirl are displayed (one with 11 tracks, one with 1 track).
​Recommendation
​Modify grouping logic to prioritize matching by “Album Title” and ignore differences in the track-level “Artist” field for top-level aggregation.
