Ummm ... Am I missing something or is there no way of searching by ARTIST? .... And there is no ARTIST column in any of the search results?
Can we somehow add these things? ... they are kind of a major feature that seem to be missing, as the artist name rarely appears in the actual "name" of the albums or the songs, soooo ... if I search for a popular artist ... nothing comes-up.
I have to hide the artist drop-down field because technically it could contain hundreds to thousands of artists ... so we can't use that field, and searching manually through the "A-Z,123" bar presents the same problem. A simple solution would be to include "Search by ARTIST".
How can I add this missing field or option?

0This is a concern I have as well. On another app I use for streaming, I have thousands of artists. I an currently moving everything slowly over to MC. With only a few albums moved over so far the drop down works nicely, though once I get everything moved over, it would be easier to do a quick search for an artist then to find it in a drop down. -

0there's no "artist search", however, the normal "album" search includes the artist name in its query, so if you write "john lennon" you'll surely obtain all albums by john lennon.
if you want to have ARTISTS as a result, and not albums, then you are right, there's no option for that, yet.
it may be added on future version -

0Normal album search does work unless you have a compilation album, then you get nothing in the search results at all. Also, because there is no artist column, if you are looking for a certain artist nothing comes-up there either.
This is a serious problem for me as my website utilizes album compilations almost exclusively. Basically, I have no search function at all. -

0Because the artist name is not in "compilation albums", and thus not in the album name, and not in the song name I need someway of searching by Artist.
Unless you can change the way it searches the compilation albums - might be easier and should be there anyway.
Thanks ... I do love the product ... one of the best out there for this kind of use. -

Daniel Millermore than a month agoI've got over 2000 artists and searching for them by scrolling and paging is just not practical.
