my preference is to actually combine the 'artists' and 'albums' columns into a single column that is a list of text 'artist - album'. foobar allows this with their great title formatting language https://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Foobar2000:Title... i also now use linux and have a similar thing with quodlibet but it's a bit tricky and i still wish i had foobar2000 sometimes
