Summary	0012864: Tracks associated with Album Artists not represented consistently with MMW
Description	In MMW, tracks associated with an Album Artist are represented whether or not an Album title exists. In contrast, in MMA, tracks are only associated with an Album Artist when an Album title exists. This manifests itself in a couple of ways: 1) The MMA Album Artists view displays: <Album Artist> x Albums Rather than <Album Artist> x Albums, y Tracks The reason for this is outlined at 0012448:0042999 , and it is because for y, MMA only precalculates the total number of tracks by <Artist>, and not the total number of tracks by <Album Artist>. Martin indicated that "We can get it a) by async loading for each item - unwanted -> slows down b) by triggers and precalculated it in same way as count of <Artist> tracks -> requires database change(possible regressions) -> postpone this solution to 1.2 and in future 1.2 version it should be: <Artist & Album Artist> x+v Albums, y+w Tracks (note: <Artist & Album Artist> x+v Albums, y+w Tracks", isn't strictly accurate, since there can be overlap between x&v and y&w ) <Album Artist> x Albums, y Tracks <Artist> v Albums, w Tracks 2) Within the Album Artists view, the albums tab display correctly, but unlike MMW, the Tracks tab only shows tracks for which the <Album> is not "" (let's call this z tracks). 3) Related to item 2) when selecting the <Album Artist> and deleting it, MMA prompts to delete z rather than the number of tracks associated with the Album Artist.
