Album Browser
In the Album browser you can explore your music collection using basically the covers of the albums.
Clicking the button a magnifying glass opens a filter editor similar to the Dynamic Playlist editor, where you can define what albums you want to see. The Filter button toggles the filter and also invokes the filter editor if none is defined yet.
You can find any album quickly using the search feature which searches in the Artist, Album Name and Album Artist fields.
The combo box on the right of the search field can be used to filter the albums based on pre-defined filters or you can build your own custom filter.
The Options context submenu groups the view settings. The selections are saved per collection:
