clear up author/artist ambiguity

Created attachment 320527 [details] [review] fix artist author ambiguity Music uses author & artist rather ambigiously, this in part because of how the grilo tracker plugin handles it (see #761624). I suggest we use author for the composer ( tracker : nmm:artistName(nmm:performer) ), and artist for the actual recording artist (tracker : nmm:artistName(nmm:performer) . This patch should have no side-effects for current gnome-music.
Created attachment 322178 [details] [review] fix artist/author ambiguity Neater commit msg. Comment #1 ofcourse means nmm:artistName(nmm:composer) for composer.
It still uses nmm:albumArtist for albums and nmm:performer for songs, both mapped to GRL_METADATA_KEY_ARTIST. Not ideal. We should push for more grilo keys: performer, album-artist, composer, lyricist etc.
Created attachment 327960 [details] [review] Cleanup artist/author ambiguity Artist and author are confusingly used for the same purpose, fix all use of author to use artist instead.
This problem has been fixed in the unstable development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain that newer version.
