On Spotify it's also (1) choose album, (2) play. I'm failing to see how it's any different. There's library sidebar with an albums only filter with a variety of view options, list with covers, compact list, grid of various sizes - if you want to have a hundred of albums on your screen, you got it. There are play buttons on the little album cover thumbnails in that sidebar, or they can be just double clicked to start playing them, there are green play buttons on album cards on artist pages and in search, and on album pages. Am I missing something?
