Easy access to favourite artists in All Access #56

I would like an easy access to my favourite artists in All Access.

Today I can access the artists in "my library" but only the the albums that I have actually added However, in the google music web app and in the android app one can access all albums by an artist from which you have added one or more album. This is especially crucial for artists that have very many albums such as Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash. It is also necessary for artists that often release new albums.

Another way to achieve this is to add the ability to save favourite artists in the All Access menu much like you can do with the Triode Spotify App. This would be favourites that are independent of albums added in Google Music. In the Spotify app you can add Artists, Albums or Tracks as favourites and easy access them from the menu. Clicking on an Artist will lead you to the Artist's page where you can choose from all albums or tracks.

Would it be possible to achieve this in some other way? Adding an artist as a Squeezebox favourite won't work because that would only play all songs by the artist without the possiblity to choose album.

Any chance this will happen? It would be cool to be able to star artists in "all music" and a menu for starred artists.
