I can't think of any alternatives that would work instead of the alpha page 
bar, but I think it could be enhanced and perhaps simplified:

To make it easier, why not just have fixed alpha links.  Some letters could 
perhaps be fixed together (eg. xyz).  I think that all items begining with 
non-alphabetic characters could be grouped together (eg under a link "0-9"?).  
Clicking a link that has no associated entries would just not display any items.

Some of my letter groups are large.  Would it be possible to have numeric page 
links within a group.  So for example, select "T", then see there are 5 pages 
of albums begining with "T".  It might make navigation a bit quicker and keep 
page sizes down.
