Apple Music - Show complete albums only? (sh.itjust.works)

The album playlist shows every album of those songs included in my library. But 99.9% of them are incomplete / contain one song.

I’d like a list of albums that are complete. Sometimes I’d just like to listen to an entire album as I did 25y ago with CDs.

How do you achieve this without creating a playlist for every such album?

The way I was doing it is to disable the setting that automatically ads songs to your library. That way I added songs I like to playlists and only added full albums to the library. But now they just made a change that replaces the “love” button with a “favorite” button which will add that song to your library automatically. Basically it’s gonna be a pain in the ass to manage albums in Apple Music in any meaningful way. I hope they fix this somehow.

They made a design choice, I think if you’re hoping for a reversal, it’ll be like 4 years at the earliest.

Yeah, that’s how it goes with Apple. I’m gonna install Foobar2000 and have my favourite albums in there, and let the new Apple Music be the messy collection of one-offs and new songs I discover.
