If I want to play a whole album, it's not much of a burden at the moment to
browse to the album from Song Details to play from there.
If the results were not filtered, it's not so easy to play only the matching
songs, in fact you won't necessarily be able to see what song has caused the
album to appear in the results. e.g. find songs with a 2 star rating.
If it showed a heirarchy of album/matching songs, it could be:
Album >
All Matching Songs
song 2
song 5
So you could play album to play all tracks on the album, or All Matching Songs
to play all matching songs found within that album?
If I'm looking for songs in a particular genre for a particular year, it will
find some songs on compilations, and that those compilations could have other
songs with different genres and years. e.g. if I was searching for a sub-set
of songs on a specific compilation album, its because I want to play that
sub-set, not the whole album. e.g. "songs shorter than 3 minutes on album
xyz", why would I want to see/play all songs on that album?
