I understand the problems. Presumably, every track contained within the album set would need (somewhat on the analogy of DiscSubtitle) an AlbumSet tag specifying the title of the set, and identifying the track as part of the set. If the album set art is saved as, say, "albumSet.jpg" in any folder used by the set, the first such file encountered by the scanning process would then be identified as the art for the set. Alternatively, it might be sensible to use the same name for the album set and its associated artwork file. Do these thoughts work at all?

This entry would be a container and opening it would show the matching albums (not all albums in the set).

This was what I had in mind as the second (and preferred) variant in my previous post, so it certainly makes sense to me.
