Multiple Collections or similar

	Hi everybody. I recently decided that I need to get my music collection 
under control but I'm not sure of the best way to do it.
	What I am looking for is basically multiple collections. I've read some 
stuff on why there is not multiple collection support but nobody seemed to 
mention my use case.
	I have a lot of music that I don't want in my "main" collection all of the 
time. Example... I have many Christmas songs that are from artists that I 
don't have any other music by. This fills up my collection browser with a ton 
of artists that 10 months of the year I just have to scroll by and filter 
though. If I could have a separate collection just for the Christmas music 
that I could turn on and off it would make it much easier to find what I want to 
listen to. 
	I also got a bunch of CD's from a family member which I ripped but most of 
the time I don't want to listen to that music because their taste in music 
differs alot. And there are many movie sound tracks which clutters up my artist 
view much like the Christmas songs to. It would be nice to have that in a 
separate collection that I could enable or disable as desired.

	The best Idea that I have would be to make some kind of sym link or maybe 
faux-partition that I could mount and un-mount as desired in order to simulate 
the removable collections.

Any Ideas?
