It seems that solution could be in the form of utilizing the `\\`, which I recently picked up from here:

> [@ID3 Orgs Info on Genres Confusing Me](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/id3-orgs-info-on-genres-confusing-me/41009/3):
>
> To get 2 genre fields one with "rock" and the other one with "Hard rock", use "\\" as separator (in MP3tag): Rock\\Hard Rock This creates 2 genre fields. You can check this in the extended tags dialogue (alt-T). Even though it is possible it does not mean that your player will support it. Perhaps your player wants a separator like "; "

That would show nicely any number of additional album names- but only in the Extended tag fields. And unfortunately in the Tag Panel or in Columns it would look bad; while in Winamp I would see only the first name  
  
  
And overall this would more of a technical solution, and not a one being among the lines of being a concept. And so, even if utilized, it will still bring back the same problem: how to sort [alphabetically] such albums? Which name to choose and how?
