I was looking for the same result, but by browsing by Artist (albumartist tag), which I found way more practical since the list is shorter)

If you can get a distinct list of your Album Artist values then you can build a tagUpdate script that would generate a new tag containing just those Artists but that would return not only the tracks from the Albums they own, but also the tracks that they appeared on, something like:

Code:

@ARTIST=Adele
+ARTISTALL=Adele
@ARTIST=Elton John
+ARTISTALL=Elton John

This alone will build an index containing just artists in the AlbumArtist tag but will return the tracks they're listed as Artists on.

To also include ALL tracks of albums they are the AlbumArtist on, use:

Code:

tagValue: ArtistAll.merge={AlbumArtist}

I use foobar so it's painless to get this list but YMMV.
Obviously it'll need updating as your collection grows.
