iTunes, Rhythmbox, Quodlibet, Navidrome and the iPod are all good at organising albums. But for singles, I find it pretty tedious. They add a lot of clutter to the album art view with entries that only have one song attached to them. They also clutter the artist browser with entries with just one song attached.

At the moment I use music managers like those mentioned above for albums, but for singles I just have them all in one folder on my desktop that I drag into a simple music player (reAmp, a classic Winamp clone). I find it works well for easy listening. As a result, my music manager is clutter free with albums I can choose when I want to just "press play". But I don't have access when I'm away from my computer.

Has anyone else struggled with this?

I just have a "Pop" playlist. Can use whatever cover art you want for the list.

Then I can sort the list in many options: alphabetical, date added to library, etc.

It's my own collection and I use Poweramp. Sorry I don't know info on cloud music players.
