    But thanks for continuing to serve as a voice of sanity. It's helpful, even when rejected.
    Looking at this another way your requirement is fulfilled partly by creating a specific playlist of the pseudo album.

    Two things stop a playlist approach from working exactly as you would want.

    1) Playlists do not appear in your Album list - but I imagine that if a simple flag existed against them they could be added if someone was prepared to modify the scanner code. It must be broadly how Online Music Library integration works?
    2) Playlist don't have specific cover art but could they?

      Indeed, I'm working on a Bash script that simplifies the process. If I'm every satisfied with it, I'll share it, in case anybody else is interested in this odd quest of mine.

        Thanks for being tolerant of my illogical obstinacy! If LMS could treat a playlist as an album, that would be the ideal solution. I don't have the knowledge or skill to address either of those points, so unless someone else takes that on, I'll continue to work on this odd quest of mine. I now have a Bash script that largely automates the process of creating symlinks and building the cue file, so it's not such a tedious undertaking.
