Artists

The Artists view shows every artist in your library. Each row shows artwork (or a fallback album cover), name, and stats. The right side shows a large artwork panel with the artist’s biography pulled from Last.fm via Navidrome — when present, a “Read more on Last.fm” button opens the full bio in your browser.

For navigation, search, multi-select, ratings, and shared right-click actions, see Library Basics.

Album Artists vs. Track Artists

In Settings → General, the Show Album Artists Only toggle controls whether collaborators / track-only artists show up in this view. With it on, only artists with explicit album-artist tags appear — keeping the list tighter for libraries with lots of features and one-off contributors.

Three-tier expansion

The Artists view supports two levels of inline expansion:

1. Shift + Enter on an artist expands their albums below the row.
2. Shift + Enter on an expanded album (or clicking its “N songs” text) expands that album’s tracks below it.

Shift + Enter again on any row collapses that level. Changing sort or search clears all expansion state.

Each level supports the standard Add to Queue / Add to Playlist / Get Info / Show in File Manager right-click actions.
