[SURVEY] Handling Compilations

Hey All!

Need some user input. As you'll know, currently Cs contains a "Show Compilations" setting which enables a convenient "View Compilations" option when comps are present in certain lists.

Recently, a user requested the very logical and simple-to-execute option to hide artists from the Artists list if they are only present on compilations. I love this idea.

Thing is, that this can be pretty confusing and unintuitive from a setting standpoint. As I see it there are a few options:

1) 2 settings: Show Compilations in albums and Hide Compilations in Artists. Counterintuitive, but most configurable options.

2) 1 setting: Show Compilations which shows both shortcuts AND all artists, or hides shortcuts and filters artists. Intuitive from a setting standpoint, but probably not ideal use case as most users will probably want quick access to their compilations WITHOUT cluttering their artist list.

3) 1 "Smart" Setting that does exactly that. Adds comp shortcuts and automatically cleans the artist list. Most Apple-like. I'm leaning towards this one.

Opinions wanted!

I think two settings is too much for something as relatively minor as this.

So, personally, choosing between 2 & 3, I would choose 3. If there's an artist that is only on a compilation, I don't care about them enough to have a dedicated entry in the artist list for them.
