Now look at the album tab in the music app. There are hundreds of unknown albums at the beginning of the list. The attached music collection has a lot of poorly tagged songs in it (just like many users' collections will have imperfectly tagged songs). There are lots of songs with an empty album tag. (Such songs are legit too because I might add, say, audio recordings of a meeting or audio books to my collection.) The music app shows a separate "Unknown Album" for each and every song with an empty album tag. That's wrong. It should not show any album at all in this case because, by definition, a song with no album tag isn't part of any album--it's a stand-along song. (Note that collapsing all songs without an album tag into a single album not an option because it would conflate many unrelated tracks into a single album that doesn't exist.) This is how the mediascanner scope deals with empty albums; the music app should do the same thing.
