Research direction

The payload names no files, so start from the Android album detail screen and find where the header subtitle is built from track artists. Check whether the Emby album data exposes AlbumArtist, since the issue says this may depend on that. Done means the header shows the album artist, such as "Flume" for Skin, and Play/Shuffle stays visible on a multi-artist album.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug design impact:U1 later P3 reach:R2 size:S

Album detail for Flume's "Skin" lists every track artist in the header subtitle (12 names over 3 lines), pushing Play/Shuffle below the hero.

What should happen: the header shows the album artist ("Flume"); featured track artists already appear on each row.

Seen: release-compare capture 22-mini-player (album page, emulator, Emby library, main 2026-10-15). May depend on whether Emby supplies AlbumArtist (unverified).
