But you can choose from top menu artists -> select preferred artist (btw you can make search in media player by just typing words) -> it shows many albums but you can hit suffle songs and it plays/adds all the songs from selected artist to playlist.

- import all songs to e.g. mp3tag
- sort all songs by artist column
- Select all songs from on artist (select first and select last with shift clicked down)
- Now you can edit whole groups album
BUT remember to take backups from your orginal music files if you start messing around with tags.

I've done this before. I have a folder called "loose songs" for all those singles and songs that I have on there but not the whole album. The only annoing thing is that any picture (album cover) attached to the song will follow it around everywhere.

The other thing is that it looks like you want to look at albums so if I were you, I'd just use the artist view instead of album view, it'll be a lot easier.

I would do that rather than the album name, as you can keep albums together as well as different album arts.

Also, mp3tag is a free program, so use it. It's one I got and found it very simple to use.

YES I agree that this could be taken care by maybe little bit of coding from Nokia, but on the another hand i think that you should also clean up your tags.

And get back on here and let us know if it worked 
I spent a long time sorting out and tagging my albums with correct tags and album art
