[Feedback] External Collection Problems - 2.3.0

I store most of my music on a large external hard drive. I am using Amarok's  
ability to detect external storage devices to divide my collection up between  
the bit of music I have on my internal laptop hard drive and my external hard  
drive. However, there are some problems that I was wondering if anyone had  
solutions to:

Whenever I play music from my external drive, the list of albums in the  
middle pane by the same artist is an enormous list of duplicates of the album  
I'm currently listening to. See this screenshot:

Secondly, album art simply won't work for anything stored on the external  
drive. This is more of an annoyance, but it'd be really nice to have cover  
art for the majority of my collection instead of the vast minority.

Finally, the standard functionality of Amarok's various artist grouping  
doesn't work for the external drive. Instead, albums with many artist tags  
are spread all throughout the collection list, instead of organized neatly  
into the various artists category.

Does anyone know how to fix this stuff?
