Description
Not so much a bug and perhaps there is a reason for this but I noticed when running a few queries that $media is only available as an item field. It would make sense to also have it as an album field since most releases tend to consist of only one media format.
Running `beet fields` confirms this.
Beets version 2.5.0.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running `beet fields` on beets 2.5.0 and compare the listed item fields with album fields, focusing on `$media`. Trace where those field lists are defined and how album and item fields are exposed. Done means `$media` is available as an album field as well as an item field, with the field listing and relevant behavior updated.
