Updated to 2220 today and it seems Album Artist field in Music collection view is picking up the Artist field instead.
I see this also. I went back to 2219, and it seemed to be happening there also.
The AlbumArtist node is now just replicating the contents of the Artist node.
Also a couple of weird things relating to the Various Artists tag. ... Both of these nodes show an artist with name of Various Artists, which seems to contain my tracks with AlbumArtist tag = "Various Artist", so maybe these nodes combine both Artist and Album Artist tags? ... But the thing is that I also have other composite Album Artist tag values, eg. "Various - Jazz" and "Various - Classical" ... MM5 is not showing an artist with either of these names? ... why? ... surely you are not treating a AA tag == "Various Artists" as a special hard coded case? ... Or is there some MM5 option that I have missed where a person can specify the Album Artist tag(s) that they have assigned to their composite albums?
Another strange thing is that the info you display for the artist named "Various Artists" is in
some language that I don't recognise. Google thinks Finnish? ... all other artists seem to be OK.
And the image that you display for this "artist" is of someone called
Torsten Pröfrock; who seems to be a German label owner, and my music collection contains no tracks by either him, nor from his label?
