I did something similar. I did some work just for myself that extended the
artist/album/track paradigm to let users specify all the orders they want
(album/track, or artist/year/track, or I even extended it to
composer/artist/album/track (absolutely necessary if you do classical
music)). I'm travelling right now and don't have access to my source. I
extended the in-memory data structures representing the music database, and
I extended the win32 UI to handle it, I didn't work on the Unix flavors at
all. If you'd like, and if you can wait for a coupla weeks, I'll send you
my code changes.
By the way, it ends up being a huge memory pig, but at least it lets you
slice your music the way you want it.
