You could, I think, but I am not sure why you would need this. Doesn't the selection of the albums for a particular artist work just as well?

Your posts suggest to me that you may be thinking in terms of pre-determined sort orders. MinimServer does not work like that. It determines the sort order and the available selection criteria 'on the fly', depending on what prior selections the user has made.

Almost invariably, the initial list of selection options will include Artist; once that is selected and the particular artist is chosen from the list, there will be a list of albums to choose from, which are just the albums of your previously chosen artist. Would that not give you (for the cost of two taps on your control point) exactly the same result as the more troublesome option of attaching a special Artist/Album field to all your tracks?
