Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It's hard to tell what albums are live, compilation, remix, etc just by looking at the album file names.

Describe the solution you'd like

Split {Album Type} into {Primary Album Type} and {Secondary Album Type}. This way you can have file names like [Album - Live] or [Album - Remix] to help identify the files. When there are multiple secondary types, they would both be included in the {Secondary Album Type}, for instance [Album - Remix - Compilation], just like in Musicbrainz website.

Very good idea for enhancement. Creates a much better overview without losing any of the organisation.

I'd actually like to see them in separate sections/subsections so I can collapse compilations or live albums. Maybe add a quick filter. Most of the time I'm not necessarily interested in them but for some bands they are important either CD reissues that combined a couple of vinyl LP's or live albums that were seminal like Cheap Trick at Budokan.
