The OR functionality does not work correctly in the album view of smart playlists: Albums with several composers are not splitted in the tracks that are belonging to the searched criteria. Example: An album contains works of Mozart and Brahms. Only Brahms is searched, but in album view the tracks of Mozart are included as well in the playlist.
The same problem occurs in album out of search results.
With compilation albums AS shows all composers instead of only the searched one.
Adding tracks / albums to a playlist: AS adds adds now tracks to a playlist if they do not exist already in that playlist. More sophisticated and helpful would be, if AS
detects, if any of the tracks, that should be added to the playlist already exist there
then shows a dialogue with the following possibilities: escape, add all, add only new tracks
then add the tracks according to the selection in the dialogue or do nothing (escape)
Why? Sometimes you need a playlist where every track exists only once. Sometimes you need a playlist where some tracks exist several times.
The ID3 tags for “Album Artist” and “Is part of a compilation” miss in the info panel. Sometimes AS shows the album artist in the banner for the album, sometimes not. Unclear when.
Will this issue (not filtering albums by playlist track, when looking at a playlist in Album View) be fixed in the next release? Along with the ability to exclude AS-added metadata, this is the one issue that prevents me from upgrading from 3.5 to AS.
Unfortunately this bug (showing non-playlist tracks when looking at an album in a playlist, in Album View) has not been fixed in 1.8.7. What is the ETA for the fix?

This functionality existed in A 3.5.
There are still inconsistencies in the sorting algorythm:
Componist and artist are not yet properly separated. In my lokal library AS finds Jean Sibelius as artist, although he exists only as composer:
Opening the artist Jean Sibelius shows the same screen as opening the componist:

Removing single tracks from a playlist: This option is grayed out in the 3 dot menu on the left of a track. With whole albums it works.

In search results for composers (Show all albums) opening compilation discs AS shows all tracks instead of only the tracks containing the searched composer.
If albums contain the searched term in their name and have multiple composers, they show up twice in search results (Show all albums): Once with the searched composer and a 2nd time with the other composer because the not searched composer is in the name of the album.
Solution: Search groups (Album, Track, Artist, Composer) should include only results, that contain the the searched term specific for this group (example: “Mozart” in the name of the album or of the track or of the artist or of the composer) and exclude all other.
There are still inconsistencies in the sorting algorythm:
Componist and artist are not yet properly separated: Opening the artist view, we can find artists and composers. I didn’t check in detail, but since AS 1.11, all composers now show up. Bevor there were some and some not.
Solution: Please add a composer view and separate artists and composers.
Also in search results we can find composers in the artist column. Trying to open an album of a correctly shown artist leeds to a black window.
Updating of changed album art does not work once again.

I changed to Audirvana Origin and have a look now in Version 1.06

In search results for composers (Show all albums) opening compilation discs, AO shows all tracks instead of only the tracks belonging to the searched composer. In my example I searched for Gustav Mahler and the screenshot shows a compilation album opened out of the search results:

Initial problem: In search results for composers (Show all albums) opening compilation discs, AO shows all tracks instead of only the tracks belonging to the searched composer. In my example I searched for Gustav Mahler and the screenshot shows a compilation album opened out of the search results.
Now AO excludes compilation albums - several tracks are not included in serach results for composers and albums.
If albums contain the searched term in their name and in other ID3 tags, they show up several times in search results (Show all albums): Once with the searched composer and a 2nd time with the searched composer in the name of the album.
Example: search term Mozart
