Duplication of artists from multiple media folders

I prefer to organize my albums by album genre, and sometimes this means a single artist will have albums in multiple genre folders, which is my preference. I then configure one subsonic media folder per genre so that I can view albums of a single genre in dsub if I choose. (Off-topic request: please allow us to choose multiple media folders to view!)

This is an example of what my folder structure looks like (you might have to scroll the code view to see it all):

Code: Select all
Blues
    + Van Morrison
        + Too Long in Exile
    + Various Artists
        + Best of Blues
Classic Rock
    + Van Morrison
        + Tupelo Honey
    + Various Artists
        + Best of Classic Rock
Rock
    + Van Morrison
        + Down the Road
    + Various Artists
        + Best of Rock


In subsonic, I configure the following media folders:

Code: Select all
Blues
Classic Rock
Rock


Displaying "All folders" in dsub looks like this. You can see the artists getting repeated multiple times, once for each media folder.

Code: Select all
Van Morrison
    + Too Long in Exile
Van Morrison
    + Tupelo Honey
Van Morrison
    + Down the Road
Various Artists
    + Best of Blues
Various Artists
    + Best of Classic Rock
Various Artists
    + Best of Rock


What I would like to see:

Code: Select all
Van Morrison
    + Down the Road
    + Too Long in Exile
    + Tupelo Honey
Various Artists
    + Best of Blues
    + Best of Classic Rock
    + Best of Rock


Can you make this happen?

Awesome! Do you have an ETA?

Is the TODO list publicly available to view?

BTW, I love your app. Keep up the great work.

It is publicly viewable: https://github.com/daneren2005/Subsonic/issues. I don't have a ETA, but there are definitely a few other things I am going to be doing before I get to that.
