This update expands the Library with new album and artist carousels, making it quicker to jump back into your collection and discover what you’ve been listening to.
You can now browse your full album and artist libraries using A–Z lists for faster navigation.
We’ve also added dedicated album detail pages with full playback support, along with new artist pages that let you play all of an artist’s songs with a single tap.
Looks great - only played around with it for a few and experienced one issue with the play queue disappearing. I believe I went to album, changed sort to recently played, brought the album up and hit play all. I then went to another app while listening to music brought focus back to Astiga and there was no play queue or a way to bring it back up. It was there before going to another app. I added another album to the play queue it does reappear. I was able to replicate they issue after I added another album to the play queue and went to another app and then back to Astiga.
Possible addition - when you go into album view there is a sort for that view. Could you add a sort to the Artist view - specifically Album Artist?
A new build is available from the app store; this update brings playlists into the Library.
You’ll now see playlists directly on the Library screen in the same way as the albums and artist carousels, with a link to a full A–Z list for easy browsing. We’ve also added playlist detail pages, so you can view tracks and start playback straight from a playlist.
Awesome...just pulled it down and it looks great. I just noticed I never answered the part about the artist filter. Yes, could there be a filter that would only show album artist. Sorry I didn't reply back!!

Thanks for that descriptive report - we'll look into it.

Do you mean a filter for the artists list to only show album artists?

@JWP We didn't fix the play queue disappearing problem, but it's on the list to address soon...
