For what it’s worth, a good way for my requirements:
Since anyway I discover and cherry-pick songs and focus on songs
rather than albums, especially for more recent music, I decided to
move from the common path format “Judas Priest - 1990 Painkiller - 02
Hell Patrol” to the much simpler “Judas Priest - Hell Patrol”. The
album information is moved to _optional_ properties. It allows to add
songs much quicker, without losing the time to find out the album
year, name and track only to be able to insert the new song into the
right path.
The songs are in alphabetical order of its title. Album information
can be left empty and if added later doesn’t disturb the song’s path
and the ordering. I put up with the resulting scattering of albums.
Should I care about this in a rare case of a complete album, a
playlist for the album is perfect. E. g. M3U. Most of the times I have
very few songs per album, often only one.
Songs released more than once like in Best Of albums are not
duplicated. Case by case the properties for the album may be left
empty or contain the first released, the acquired or even several
albums e. g. concatenated in the field value. No concerns anymore also
on how to resolve this with the common path format and with complete
albums.
how the interactive column view in the buffer (C-c C-x C-c) looks like:
#+BEGIN: columnview
