Collections Page for Music Libraries

This is not the same as inline collections for music libraries (although that would be nice too).

In music libraries we can currently tag both artists and albums as being part of a collection (but they are not mixed - there are collections for artists and collections for albums). However, to see a collection of albums or artists you must first change to display the library by artist or album, and then narrow the display by selecting the specific collection you want to see. Since I have collections of both artists and albums in my classical music library, I’d love to be able to see all the collections on one page, rather than having to switch back and forth among the various display options and drop down menus only to be limited to seeing the contents of one collection.

I would suggest building a Collections page, just like in a movie library, that is selectable at the top of the library (Recommended - Library - Collections - Playlists). On that page show all music collections, displaying the name of the collection, and then underneath identifying it as “Artist Collection” or “Album Collection”. This would mimic the collections page in a movie library, but put “Artist” or “Album” where number of movies is displayed in a movie collection. One would then be able to see all the collections that have been created for that music library in one place, and drill down into a collection to select a specific piece of music.
