A better solution would be to have a separate library for singles.
I really don't want them showing up in Artist or year filters.

Why? If you want to show all songs by year, then they should certainly be present. Similarly if you want to show all songs by an artist.
The only views where they should need grouping better would be the album views (as they're not albums), which is what this suggestion is for - all singles are given a blank album name, and XBMC then groups these together into a "singles" album for that artist.
These "singles" albums don't show up in the main albums listing, but will be available from a separate "Singles" list.
Cheers,

Sure, so they show up in the artists list.
You click on "Linkin Park" and their albums are listed and, in addition, there's a "Singles" item there as well (assuming you have Linkin Park singles).

I've been waiting for this for a longtime.
I think there should be a "singles" node in the main list because then we can jump to the artist's singles directly.
or another option could be to split the navagation into 2 & have a Albums section & Singles sections.
So you could click Singles & have all the options like artist, year ect... but it would'nt display anything from albums & visa versa for the Albums
& maybe to turn on/off in advanced settings?

This is in as of r22831. There's a separate "Singles" node as discussed, which simply lists all singles from all artists. Obviously individual singles are listed in the "Singles" item under each artist listing as well.
Cheers,

Hmm, dunno - let me check...
EDIT: Not currently. Does it make sense to have this a separate content type anyway? Surely it's just a "Songs" content type, after all (it just lists songs).
Cheers,
