$media is only available as an item field

[endcredits33]

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.

I wonder if this is why the importer complains that media is mismatched no matter how many times I reimport the same thing?
