Squeezebox Integration does not allow browsing music collection by 'Album Artist', only by 'Artist'

The problem

Originally raised as a feature request - psketch asked me to raise as an issue to keep track of it. The Squeezebox Integration, when browsing a music collection, only allows user to search Artists by 'Artist', and not 'Album Artist' which would be more suitable. See image below for more info:

I'll take a look at adding it once we get through the current list of PRs.

OK - I had a quick look and it was straightforwards, so I've done it but I'm going to hold off submitting the PR until we've made some headway with the current outstanding PRs - it's too messy to try to keep all of the open PRs aligned already without adding more.

That's great Pete thanks very much. Will wait for the release down the line. Cheers
