When using the album covers view, the expanded panel allow for two fields in the header to be configured, one of which is usually reserved for the name of the album. I would love to see this area more customizable along the lines of what is currently possible with the track information panel.
I know you can get a long way by using a virtual tag but I don't believe that would be as versatile as my suggestion as it doesn't support line breaks e.t.c.
