Use track artist instead of album artist for lyrics searching
Version

Where did you get Sayonara from?
Self-compiled
Desktop environment

What's not working
When searching for lyrics for a song, the search autopopulates using the album artist instead of the track artist. This is a problem for compilation albums where the album artist metadata does not match the song artist.
What do you expect?
Lyrics search should use the track artist metadata.
I intended to fix this myself, but this project apparently doesn't allow creating merge requests, so I will explain the fix instead. In src/Components/Lyrics/Lyrics.cpp
, line 33 should be modified to change albumArtist()
to artist()
.
How to reproduce?
e.g.
- open sayonara
- open album with many individual artists for songs
- right click on song and select "Lyrics"
- observe incorrect search
Did this ever work? If yes, which version was the last version without the issue?
Not that I'm aware of.
