In artwork view i miss more fields for grouping, mostly not grouping at all for the times when i want to see a cover for each track.

1)No grouping is very useful for having a nicer now playing list tab using a customized view looking similar to ex.fm

2) And what could be very convenient is automatically grouping by the first field used for sorting, if sort by year group by year, if sort by artist group by artist, if sort by genre group by genre, etc

TIA!

Yes, I'd like something similar to the old Zune:

(Group by Year)


Much easier to browse by cover with this.

I remember someone a while ago was asking for the ability to group by first letter like this.  That'd be nice.

While some standard fields are really missing here (Genre, Content Group, Year(yyyy)...), the ability to set some custom/virtual tag here would be nice too.

A big NO for this one.
While I'm usually sorting my albums by Original Release Date, I don't want 'em to be grouped by Original Release Date.

And +1 for the ability to set a header group in artwork view

This was one of my favorite features from Zune player, it'd be a welcome addition.
