Every now and then I get the urge to have a search through the forums to see if anyone has come up with a neat way of producing a list of albums, using LMS as the source. I'll describe what I've successfully been doing, but it is clunky, is based on a Windows PC, and won't appeal to anyone looking for a simple one-click option. Samples of my output are available on these pages: https://wbeachdave.weebly.com/artists.html and https://wbeachdave.weebly.com/albums.html
I found an open-source app called "DB Browser for SQLite" that lets people like me peep into SQLite databases - https://sqlitebrowser.org/ LMS settings information page includes the path to the "Cache", where the library.db file is. (I copy the library file to the PC so I don't accidentally damage it) On the PC, opening the library.db file in DB Browser displays the contents of the library, both structure and data. And that's where it gets a bit more interesting with more steps needed to progress from seeing the data on screen to having the data in a usable form. If there are any other (relative) novices who'd like further info on how I got from displaying the library in DB Browser to having usable album lists, just comment below. If there's any interest, I'll write up the steps I used, and put them in a new thread. Have fun!
