Comment 6 for bug 253167

This is the only serious reason why I do not stick with Rhythmbox as my main music player. When your collection is organised as Artist/Album from music ripped from original CDs, this option is a must have in a music player. As soon as you have some compilations and movie soundtrack, it is absolutly impossible to browse your collection by song "artist" only. In this case, having a 3 columns browser with artistalbum|artist|album is essential because you can tag your compilations with Various Artists in "artistalbum".

Since the UI already allows a 3 column browser with genre|artist|album, it may possible to change the "genre" column for the "artistalbum" or simply add another browser option. I'm currently giving a serious try to Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 10.04. It is a great application and I love it. But without this, it it totaly unusable, considering how my collection is built.
