Submenus would be an additional menu level -> makes the whole thing
tedious to use, up to 5 more klicks until you find an album

Subcategories (just sorting) would only leave you with 3 indexable
categories. Have like 25 albums under the artist, then 57 compilations
for the same artist plus 23 appearances on other artists' albums (I have
artists like that; especially for composers) and you end up with a huge
list through which you can scroll.

If you don't know what you are looking for, it's probably OK.
But if you are looking for a specific album it's hard to filter.
If you use alphabet sorting you can jump immediately to e.g. "k" and
skip the first half of the list. Especially important on ip3k
Squeezeboxes with the single- or dual line displays where your option
would be hardly usable.
