I have the same problem, but with a music collection that is actually quite well-tagged. For a lot of (pop) music the actual album something came from is irrelevant and undesirable to have tagged, because it clutters up the album view of (other) music players. When I am browsing albums, I expect to see only albums I own in their entirety, not 'albums' that contain only that one-off hit and miss all other tracks.

The problem here is that any song that lacks the album tag, gets shown in the album view as a unique artist/album combination. Right now I have a thousand or so stand-alone tracks (starting with 10cc – Unknown Album and ending with ZZ Top – Unknown Album) to swipe-scroll through before I get to the real albums.

This takes about two minutes, and has to be done every time you open the music app. Rather unworkable.

I would suggest grouping all tracks that lack an album tag into a single 'Unknown Album' pseudo-album, regardless of artist.
