Hi,
Try making a playlist of your albums by using the file browser. Select your Music library in the sources table and use Command-B to toggle on the browser. Now when you tab from the Sources table to the search text field you'll reach your Music library entries organized by Genre (first tab past search text field), Artist (second tab past) and Album (third tab), before reaching the Songs table. Tab to the Album column in the browser (4 tabs after you stop interacting with the source table). Interact (VO-Shift-Down Arrow), and either arrow down to find your album, or type the first letters of the album name to navigate there. When you've selected an album, use Command-Shift-N to create a new playlist from your selection. A dialog window will pop up prompting you to name your playlist. The default name in the field will be the Artist followed by the Album with a hyphen in between. The browser and search text field, "winnow down" your source selections by only showing entries in the songs table that match what you type -- including parts of words. But the search text field is matched to any keyword that's displayed in the Songs table -- whether it's part of a song name or an album name. The browser lets you search by category, in any combination you want. You can select entries or combinations in any of the browser columns, then check what shows up in the Songs table. As mentioned before, you can start with a blank playlist (Command-N and name the playlist), or one made from a selection (as in the example given above). You can add to the playlist by selecting songs in the songs table and using the context menu (VO-Shift-M) and choosing the "Add to Playlist" option, then Right-Arrow to the submenu of playlists and select the name of the playlist you want to add to. The order of the playlist is the order in which you added songs. But you can change that by sorting columns in the songs table of the playlist. Sorting with VO-Shift-Backslash under the Album column should preserve album order of songs. A second VO-Shift-Backslash reverses a sort from ascending to descending order.
