BUT I have one instance aof MinS running

So it would be good to make this optional
(but actual I can live with it as it is now)

Could you explain the scenario where this isn't useful? Would it be possible to get what you want by aliasing Group to something else?

Ok I gueass my last post was too long to read
and in the meantime
I have some more experience with grouping

I still think this should be optional:
In an abstract level you can say sending the group instead of an
Album entry to the playlist is useful when the grouping
is used to group the items based on content.

I do this, and I am quite satisfed with the results.

In Another MinS instance I want to use group to group
all Multidisc albums in single discs.
In this case I want to tagFormat the group with a rather long name
to indicate the contents of the group.
Therfore the album name as a header would be redundant and not helpful
for selecting purposes.
But I still would like to have it for displaying purposes.

You now could ask why I am not using discsubtitle for this
intent, and the answer is
1. You can't select a subtitled disc for playing and
2. My largest multidisc album has 75 discs, therefore
an ungrouped list would be very long.
