Hi,
Lydia filed this bug a while ago:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=219618
Basic problem: the playlist doesn't show you the artists in a
"various-artists" album.

I just pushed commit a0c2c3327c45cf06c92901210baac982ebdf505b
This introduces a "Body (Various artists)" layout. It's used when the
track artist is different than the album artist.
If there's something not to like about the commit, feel free to revert it.

I can tell you one problem up front: we now have 3 different visuals:
* "Default - Single" has both title and artist in normal font.
* "Verbose - Single" has title in italics, and artist in normal font.
* My new "Body (Various artists)" has:
o Title in normal font.
o Artist in italics, and indented 5 spaces.
Reason: otherwise the titles and artists *really* start to
blend together. (Try it.)
Gentlemen, start your paintsheds. I don't care what changes are made
here. My recommendation is:
* Invert "Verbose - Single". (make the title normal font, the
artist italics)
* In "Default - Single", consider having the artist in italics.
(That would affect pretty much every user.)
Cheers,
Nanno
