Album view groups all my MP3s with blank Album data under a single folder. However, if some of those tracks have other data, such as AlbumArtist and DiscNumber, this results in Album view creating multiple folders, each with multiple subfolders.
Actually, the multiple subfolders problem can be dealt with by removing the second tier (discnumber) from Album view and I understand why some people will want this tier and that it probably can't work one way for the folder with the MP3s with blank Album data (singles) and a different way for the rest of the actual Albums. I don't think I need the discnumber tier though, so it's no problem for me if I delete that to avoid this issue.
However, Album view still creates multiple folders if the Album data is blank but the AlbumArtist varies (e.g. if all the tracks have AlbumArtist - Single, except for one which has the AlbumArtist - Singles, this will result in two folders, with the second just containing the track tagged AlbumArtist - Singles). I don't think it's useful to have multiple folders created like this and it would make more sense to have all tracks with blank Album data just grouped under one folder.
