"Album Artist" field missing in album properties

[aadilayub]

There are many albums that are compilations of tracks by many artists. Normally, music players handle this by having a separate field for the author of the track (Artist), and a separate field for the author of the album (Album Artist).

Here is an example of such an album. You can see in MusicBrainz editor that the "Artist" field varies across all 9 tracks, but the "Album Artist" field is uniform across the album (Various Artists).

Here's the same album opened in Melody:

You can see that the album has been broken into 9 albums by different artists, and that Melody has fetched incorrect album art for some of them.
