      The automatic playlist names seems to be generated with the "artist" tag and they are called "Various artists" if there are more than one artist in the playlist, this is fine, however the Collection seems to use the "album artist" tag.

      So most of the time I end up with a bunch of "Various artists" playlists when double clicking on an artist in the collection (since the artist tag is used to add featuring, most of the times there are more than one "artist").

      I've looked through the code and replaced "artist" with "albumartist" in the PlaylistManager::GetNameForNewPlaylist function and it seems to work... Is there a better way to implement it? A toggle in the settings maybe?

      Thanks
