iOS5 iPod app "Artists" tab finally sorts by Album Artist!

[Saladinos]

I don't know how many of you have had this, but it's been annoying me ever since I got an iPhone 1 that the iOS iPod app groups artists by the "artist" field and not the "album artist" field.

It's especially annoying because iTunes uses the "album artist" field, which means that when I want to play all my Bonobo tracks from the iTunes store, they're grouped in one "Bonobo" item. iOS used to show three: "Bonobo", "Bonobo & Baja", "Bonobo & Fink".

Apple's finally fixed it since iOS5 b6 - now the whole album shows up under "Bonobo", and you can just play all

Just thought I'd mention it in case anybody else was annoyed by the same issue.

Thank You

Finally someone else who understands this. I would tell people "isn't that so annoying you can't just listen to everything" and they said they didn't get what I was saying.

Yes yes! I noticed this on my iPhone earlier.

Best. Options. Ever.
