More views than just TracksList: artists and albums

[martpie]

• [ ] AlbumsList (may require #86)
• [ ] ArtistsList

edit: July 12th 2023: the main challenge here is the DB design:

• either we completely re-think the DB, with relations, and everything (hard, error-prone, but easier to read and group data)
• we keep a single table for tracks, and make a lot of heuristic to know "which track belongs to which album/artist" (and try to avoid collisions)

Add Folder list ?

Quoting @jacobsax in #343

Add an Album view, order by Artist and then by Album, where selecting the Album shows all tracks in that Album. Add an Artist view, where selecting an Artist shows all tracks by that Artist - grouped by Album in orderings.

Ok, this feature starting to be more and more requested, I got one problem especially: AlbumsList is ok, but for ArtistsList, what images (if we want images) do we want to display?

Open question for now, just keeping it in a corner of my mind.

edit: http://www.musicgraph.com or last.fm? The discussion here would be more about integrating a third-party service or not

Adding a third-party service would be fine, but lets not be limited just to that, I think it needs to be customizable, plus having a default image.

We could fetch images from last.fm or (m)any other source also we can have the ability to add any image desired by the user. Would be nice. :)

The album's list should able to be ordered by released year.
