Artist Listing
Answered
All my Various Artist albums are correctly tagged but when I look at "Artists" in the library listing they are not shown. If I open a Various Artist album they are shown in the track listing but is there a way to get them listed in the overall Library listing?

Your files are not correctly tagged - there are two Artist tags - Artist and Album Artist. For Example, It's Only Love on the album Reckless (the first duet that came to mind...). Your Artist tag is complete (Bryan Adams & Tina Turner) but your Album Artist Tag is blank (Bryan Adams).
As a result, BluOS is unsure who the album artist is as likely your Album tag is also blank so cannot reconcile which songs are on which album by which artist.
I'd check your tags.

My files are correctly tagged with Album Artist as Various Artists but each track has the correct artist listed under Artist. As an example, the Island Records compilation Strangely Strange But Oddly Normal, the first track is Supernatural Fairytales by the band Art. On the screen of that album it is listed as such and when played it is shown as that. If I click on the 3 dots at the very right(onPC) and then click on "Go to Artist" it is shown as the only track by that band in my library. However, when I look through Library, then artists, Art are nowhere to be seen. This applies to all bands who have a track or 2 on compilation albums but no complete album under their own name. When I used to run a Sonos system the library displayed every artist, whether they had one track on a compilation or albums in their own name. It would be much better if the library artist listing showed everyone who was in the Library.

The only way to "list" all albums with tracks with artists that are only on "compilations" is to use the search bar.
