No, that wouldn't really work, as it cannot be grouped and doesn't provide any info
about the albums. The Context view would be great, if it could display similar
artists or albums that belong in the same group ...

Yes, by genre, but the genre does not always is the same in the series.
Image for instance a series of albums put out by Readers Digest that
vary by musical genre, but if the user would like to see all his RD
collections, with covers, in a single nice-looking view. Currently
this is not possible.
