Hi.

remove patch :
73603df

This patch broke adding Albums with the same name, because there is no filter on Artis, so all album with same name is add in queue.

I think 4232176 introduced a regression on this issue for files with empty albumartist fields. When album is the same files are added even when artist differs.
Or must albums (that aren't compilitions) always have populated albumartist fields in all files?

Your are right, albumartist must be always populate.

According to MPD (kernel of volumio) :
albumartist: on multi-artist albums, this is the artist name which shall be used for the whole album. The exact meaning of this tag is not well-defined.
(https://www.musicpd.org/doc/html/protocol.html).

And other thing, MPD said :
find EXPRESSION : AlbumArtist looks for VALUE in AlbumArtist and falls back to Artist tags if AlbumArtist does not exist. VALUE is what to find.
But the UI of volumio can't.
