Winamp: Album List

One of the features I like about Amarok is it's "random album" shuffle mode, and I kept meaning to find a WinAmp plugin to do something similar at work.

The annoying part is that Winamp knows what albums are in your library - so implementing this should be completely trivial, but it's not a standard feature.

I found Album List, which is close. In fact, if it would just base it's album list on id3 tags rather than directory structure, it'd be exactly what I want.

See, when I get a compilation album, the songs get ripped into track artist/album/## - track. So a soundtrack album like The Whole Nine Yards ends up sprinkling tracks into many artists - but I want to play it back as an album.

Is that too much to ask for?
