It is true that this mod will work superbly with vocal/classical or whichever albums in which the artist plays an important role. However, for anime/game OST, movie soundtrack, etc. , the ALBUM title plays a significant role than artist. As such, is it possible to implement filter by ALBUM tag feature?
Also when searching for an album title, it would be great if the result generated is based on ALBUM tag instead of artist. Currently if an album has Various Artist, multiple album is returned with various artist name instead of just a single result.

Are you using the "Album artist" tag?

That explains it. I will test it out with the rest of my library. Perhaps some albums doesn't have ALBUMARTIST tagged properly.
Any is it possible to include the filter by ALBUM tag in the left panel instead of artist in the next release?

It's an interesting thought, as the Various Artists page tends to grow bigger and bigger with your library, and becomes heavy to fetch and slow to render. I can think of a couple of different ways to address that. Having not only Various Artists in the left frame, but all Various Artists albums listed (Various Artists - Summer Hits 2012, Various Artists - Batman Returns OST etc) would be one. I think there's potential for improvement, but I have to settle for how exactly to best improve the VA handling, and then rank it amongst other new features to add and decide to which to go for, so it's not magically gonna appear in the next release.
