Remember my choice for album or artist view

Bug Description

By default, the MyMusic scope shows my local music by artist - which isn't what I want. I have to change it to by 'Album' manually every time. It makes it impractical to use until scope implements a memory of the users choice.

From conversations on #ubuntu-touch it seems that the decision for this default came about because it was supposed it would result in fewer entries on the list. This is flawed logic as my case proves and I would consider both album and artist views equal in terms of the number of entries they produce in the display.

Given they are equal in this regard, I would consider the album view more important to the user/visually.

This seems like a nice idea. The music app also remembers which view I was in and, if I kill and re-start the music app, it comes back with previous view showing.
