Attributing an Album to 2 artists

My favorite album (probably - most likely) is a collabarative effort by 2 artists, Nas & Damian Marley. I had a bit of a panic earlier when looking at Damian Marley’s work and I didn’t see the album “Distant Relatives” and thought I had somehow deleted it. It is appearing as a Nas album in all my players although I have it in a folder named the following

\Music\
    \Nas & Damian Marley\
        \Distant Relatives\

It lists the artist as "Nas & Damian Marley" but the album only shows under Nas

I was wondering if there is a way to make it so that the album will appear under both artists since they both appear on every song and it was a collaborative effort instead of Damian featuring on Nas’s songs.

Edit Incidentally, when I click on the 3 dots in Plex amp it shows both artists so I can jump to either of them, but when I go to Damian Marley the album isn’t listed; which was the source of my little panic earlier today.

Both artists show in the context menu - but only one artist has the album under their name

Nas albums showing the collaborative work Distant Relatives

Damian Marley albums - with the collaborative work missing

I guess this will happen for a regular song with a featuring artist (I just checked on a song with many featuring artists and only the first 2 show up in the menu) but I think it would be helpful to have an option to show these albums show for both artists.

This is unfortunately a long-standing feature request:

Better support for albums and tracks with multiple artists

Currently, Plex is basically limited so that every album and track has one and only one artist. A ton of songs have more than one artist, and currently, there’s no good way to represent this in Plex. You could set the artist to something like “ArtistA and ArtistB”, but then that track/album will show up as a new artist, and it won’t show up under “ArtistA” or “ArtistB”. This is inconvenient and annoying. Instead of the “artist” field just being a text box, what if it were a “tags” box, where yo…

ID3 tags support this - you can have a list of artists separated by the null character - most tag editors make it easier by letting you insert a comma- or semicolon-separated list.

Unfortunately Plex does not read beyond the first entry in the Artist/Album Artist tag.
