Option to search for Artist instead of Album Artist? #6

Open mantazzo opened 1 week ago

Hi there. First of all, thanks for your plugin, it works nicely. However, I have a small issue. See, I have a few albums where the Album Artist is set to "Various Artists" by the Auto-Tag, so when searching for Lyrics, it shows me completely random result for the song, when I can find using website's search correctly using the actual Artist. I checked the code a little, and I saw that the search goes indeed by Album Artist, so I was wondering - could you possibly add an option to switch between searching for Artist and Album Artist? Thanks again. (This also applies to your other plugin, LRCLIBee - just wanted to add this here.)

Well, it shouldn't return anything with "various artists" if you didn't crank up your distance to 999.

The proposition makes sense, musicbee uses Artist by default. You can patch it yourself, it's fairly easy, I'll make an update when I'll be working on any of the plugins again (soon™).

Other options are default, I haven't touched them (yet). So just kinda weird to get something like that. 😅 And thanks for looking into this.
