Originally assigned to: @phanan on GitHub.

I have a large collection of music from OverClocked ReMix, which has a single large album (> 2000 tracks) which all shares the same Album Artist and Album Name, however due to the use of only the Artist ID3 tag, my library is a mess.

To solve this Albums should be grouped by Album Artists if the tag is available, falling back to Artist if it isn't.

Also some albums have various artists. So ideally there should be a drop down under Albums that allows you to group them differently. Some Albums don't have an Artist. It guess this would also affect the parser.

Would this handle the idea of 'compilation albums'? I have so many albums that have songs by different artists but if you click to view the 'album', it only shows the songs on that album listed by that artist.

Would be great to have this fixed as well.

Just to let you guys know that I'm on it. This turned out to be far more complex than I thought, and I still have a long way to go, but we should have something to look at in v2.3.0.
