[FEAT]: Add all of an artists albums to a playlist

[bonelifer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like the ability to add all of an artists albums from their Artists page to a playlist like this Chrome extension does:

@bonelifer: Heya. This sounds very doable. I do have something in the pipeline regarding discographies, but this is distinct enough that I can implement it. I will also readily welcome a PR if you already have your sight on building it yourself.

Quick questions:

1. Does the other extension no longer work? Or are you looking to just consolidate its feature into this one?
2. The most I can do is get every song of an artist and maybe songs they are a feature on. I can also try to remove duplicates, but this will probably be based on song names, thus there could be similar song versions like remix, acoustic, and live. I think that's in line with what the extension currently does. I assume you make or have made use of that extension, so does this sound about in line with what you envision?

Maybe later on I can add additional options like including/excluding explicit tracks, whether to include remixes and acoustic versions, allowing user to set the playlist name, moving feature to popup (though not likely as a user wanting to use this feature would already be on the web ui). I can do these on another iteration down the line.

The other one does work but is Chrome only. My main browser is Firefox. Yes. Currently it grabs all songs they are featured on. It would be nice to have a setting/toggle to only grab their own albums. However it would be fine to just have parity with the other extension.

Thanks for info. I can do the first iteration of this to reach parity. This feature will be next in the pipeline unless something urgent supplants it.

@bonelifer: In v1.16.2, the create artist discography playlist feature has been implemented and released for both chrome and firefox. There should be a new button on an artist's page that triggers it. I made an announcement here. I'll close this discussion in favour of the announcement one. In the announcement one, please feel to discuss issues/bugs regarding the feature.

Further down the road, I hope to implement the rest of this:

Maybe later on I can add additional options like including/excluding explicit tracks, whether to include remixes and acoustic versions, allowing user to set the playlist name, selecting the scope of the playlist - ["albums", "singles", "appears_on"], moving feature to popup (though not likely as a user wanting to use this feature would already be on the web ui). I can do these on another iteration down the line.
