Lack of Album Artist (TPE2 tag) sort Library category #742

Great player, however as with almost all Android Music players, albums cannot be not sorted by Album Artist (TPE2 tag) but by the Artist (TPE1) from the first Title in the Album. That means my compilation albums are not filed under "Various Artists" (Album Artist name I use for compilation albums) but under the artists of the first song per album. Makes it difficult to browse for a compilation album since I do not know all the artists by heart.

Would be really helpful and would highly appreciate if a Library category "Album Artist" could be added thats sorts by Album Artist (TPE2 tag).

I bought Phonograph, but will not use it since Album Artist sort is really a must for me. It's a pity since Phonograph is in essence a great player.

Thanks. Maarten, The Netherlands

Consider using Abbey, next update it'll have album artist support.

@paolovalerdi When can we hope to see the source for "Abbey" as mentioned here

I'm still working on v2, as soon as I get a stable build I'll release the source code.
