I'm not entirely sure that we are addressing the same issue here.
I think you are concerned about the proper display of various artist
albums in the main playlist, which already supports some custom layouts
that allow you to deal with compilations in a more or less decent way.
The local collection and the albums applet, however, do not offer any
support for that at the moment.
Thus, looking for a song of a particular artist on a compilation by
browsing the local collection is quite impossible at the moment (aside
from additionally using a filter).
The same goes for the albums applet, except that there are no filters,
which makes this task even more difficult.

Or is it that I am missing a point and the local collection and the
albums applet will also get custom layouts in the near future which will
support browsing through compilations like described above?

Best regards,
Christopher Schwartz
