Use albumartist as series/collection tag

Bug/Feature description

I have a bunch of audiobooks which are tagged the way cozy using the tags (artist for reader, composer for author).

But they are a logical group of audiobooks (a series). All five audiobooks are having the albumartist tag containing the series name (originally tagged from store). I have other audiobooks also following the same scheme.

Would it be possible to list all audiobooks containing the albumartist tag under a tab ('Series'?) like the Author and Reader? E.g. if the audiobooks of the Narnia series containing the album artist 'Chronicles of Narnia', they would be grouped under that entry. All album not containing the albumartist tag would only be listed under Author/Reader as before.

What do you think?

System Information

Thanks for your request :) This is a cool idea. I'm currently working on m4b support but after that is finished, I want to start a UI overhaul. I've already thought about how filtering and sorting of books can be expanded and this might be a cool idea.
Where did you buy those audiobooks? I'll do some research whether more stores use the album artist tag for audiobook series.

The most audiobooks with that tag scheme are MP3 downloads from the german store thalia.de.

There are some from other stores, but I don't know exactly where I buyed them and would have to look in my records.
