This is actually The Main Thing that bugs me about Rhythmbox.
The way I arrange my CDs or records, I split them up into two sections. One for single-artist albums (we'll call this Group A) and one for compilations (Group B). Within Group A, I alphabetize by album artist, then sort from oldest to newest within that. For Group B, I alphabetize by album name.
Rhythmbox is a great player, but it's very difficult to organize/access my music in any sort of satisfying way given the way it blends everything together. If I want to find a Group B album, I shouldn't have to sort through all of the mixed-in Group A album titles. Especially when I have a lot more single-artist albums than compilations. And when I'm looking for a Group A album, I shouldn't have to wade through a bunch of artists I don't really care about, but who only show up in the list because of one track on a compilation.
I think fixing this organization scheme would save a lot of people a lot of time and brain cells. It's also connected to an issue I have with Rhythmbox iPod management for which I'm about to open another bug.
