Customising library view in MA

In MMW you can have customised nodes in the library view. I would like the same thing in MMA.

I have a lot of full albums, but I also have a lot of collections of one/two/three tracks.

When choosing music I normally want to play one of the entire albums, or one of the 'one hit wonder' tracks.

It would be nice if MMA gave me a way to have an 'album only' view (either by filtering rules: lists tracks by album, but only when that there are 8 it more tracks listed in that album, or by me manually tagging entire albums for inclusion in the Album View node)

This would make it much easier to browse just entire albums.

Thanks, RiCo

Can you please explain what you meant by that? Are you creating collection as filters instead of Auto-Playlists?
Can you post screenshot?

We plan in MMA 2.0 to make Auto-Playlist so you could make it more like MMW/MM5

Oh. I think I know what I was doing wrong.

In MMA, I was using the Albums and Album Artists tile/node, which was including loads (and loads and loads) of the albums containing just one or two tracks. Screenshot: https://ibb.co/1X0DjwH (Sorry, can't work out how to properly link or embed the image.)

Anyway, I add the the Albums tile/node, and that has hidden all those 'one track' albums in MMA.

Problem solved, ta!
