_#1_missing_ABM_options_
In the LMS advanced settings for ABM I can choose between -artists- and
-albums- as view options. I would very much like to have -genres- and
-songs- to use those (sub)menus. Can I do that on my own (some
setting/config file) or is it something that only a developer can do?

No, you can't do this without some serious coding.

_#2_groups_
Can I put ABM menus into groups?

No, not directly. The best you could do is to put an album or artists menu limited to a virtual library in the main menu.

_#3_Advanced_Search_Options_&_ABM_
I would use libary views (saved advanced searches) as the source for my
ABMs. But I still need to figure out how to do certain searches:

I know. Alas, the form already is so large it wouldn't fit one of the smaller notebook displays. The library management needs a real UI. Unfortunately somebody would have to do it.

_#4_Compilations_&_ABM_
- Is it possible to build a ABM menu -20 Random Compilations- (much like
the brilliant -20 Random Albums-, only for compilations)?

Another no, not without some coding.

- How can I build an ABM entry -Compilations by Genre- which would be
like the compilations menu only with a genre selection/menu before
that?

Just for a change: I'm not sure about this one :-).

_#5_Track_Ratings_
I have stored the rating of my tracks in their grouping tag as a number
(0-100). Does 7.9 with its library views, advanced search and ABM still
need Trackstat + CustomScan to use those ratings? Or is there another
(faster/simpler) way to access those rating without Erland's plugins?
I would mainly use those rating to create ABM menus like

I don't think you need any plugin to _read_ ratings. They're parsed as part of the regular scan. But there's little to no UI for the data.
