Comment(by Paul Lambert <paul at planar.id.au>):

 I thought that too.  The original author seemed to have something
 particular in mind, and I wasn't sure it made sense to change that.  As it
 stands it is easy to find an album if you know the artist but not the
 exact album title.  Arguably you could now do that directly from the all
 my music tree.

 I see this as having a handful of benefits:
  - let you play albums in the order they were originally intended (the
 patch as it stands does that, but the all my music tree does it better
  - let you find albums quickly.  The all my music tree does that better
 too

 If I modified as you suggest then you would be able to get to albums that
 have mixed artists on them, albeit there is no good visual cue of that
 album.  That is something that has been annoying me, so I'll take a look
 at doing that.

 It doesn't really help in getting the music into the playlist in the first
 place - once I rip say, a soundtrack, I then have to go surfing through
 the artists tree to find the songs so I can add them to a playlist and
 play them.  I ripped the Grease soundtrack for my partner (I know, just
 mentioning that gets my negative points) and it doesn't tell me on the
 cover who sang half the songs - I have no idea where they went.  What
 would be really cool is an album tree instead of/as well as the artists
 tree.  So all my music - artist, and all my music - album.
