(Get the code!)
This really needs support from the media scanner to do properly, and we've punted doing that for 13.10.
The Lucene++ library used by the media scanner doesn't include the extensions to handle result grouping, which would be needed to handle this kind of thing efficiently.
The album browsing in the music app is implemented by dumping the entire media scanner index and building a sqlite database out of the data, which is a hack (doesn't handle index changes, for instance).
We will look at implementing this properly, but it will have to wait until after the release.
