I've noticed that the "Album directory name formatter" in advanced configuration uses the artist name from each track, rather than the artist name from the album.

When downloading albums with many different contributors, this can get quite messy rather quickly, as downloading an album will cause each track to be saved in many different directories, because each track in that album has a different artist.

In the album name formatter, is it possible to use the album's artist instead of the track's artist?
