I usually navigate my music in players by tags, but the problem is something that puts 100 songs under the "Greatest Hits" album because it's a fairly common album name and then don't allow narrowing down by artist from there (because "Artist" is a "coarser" search than "Album", nevermind the fact that artists might collaborate on an album…).

Amarok, at least, lets you permute artist and album either way round. (Of course, neither ordering deals gracefully with things like Fields of the Nephilim and Evanescence both releasing albums called Fallen.)

What I really want - and what none of the music player programs I've actually met seem to provide - is to sort "The Cure" under 'C' instead of 'T', while still presenting the name as "The Cure".
