[Feature]: (Smart) Playlist album view

[pjsurk]

I have already checked through the existing feature requests and found no duplicates

• Yes

Is this a server-specific feature?

Not server-specific

What do you want to be added?

Album view for (smart) playlists.

It is already possible to see all tracks in a grid view as repeated album images but it would be great to have them combined. This way you can create a smart playlist view containing the newest albumst from a genre or artist. The Marvis app on iOS has the same option and makes it very flexible.

How do you envision this functionality to work for playback?

Let's say for example the smart playlist conditions only contain a varying number of tracks from each album (aka not the entire album). When attempting playback for the album, should it only add the included songs based on the filter, or should it just play the entire album?

I want to be able to create collections from multiple albums, but instead to see each track individual:

Combined into 1 album:

When you click on the Album you should see only the tracks of that selected album added to the playlist

Implemented in #1700 with one caveat - the albums follow the song list order, and can be split into multiple albums if the songs are not adjacent to each other in the sort order.

I do have a proposal for an aggregated album view (matching the original feature request). Would this be similar to it or are you willing to accept a PR?

[jeffvli]

If you have already implemented it, I'd be interested in taking a look. Feel free to submit a PR.

It's in a very ugly state. If I get the time this weekend I'll clean it up :)

Where can I find this toggle to switch between track / album view in playlist song list?

@pjsurk It is in the playlist page, to the left of the sort filter.
