I think you have the relationship backward, this did not arise from
apps. Long before there was any such thing as an "app", and ever since
for that matter, most music was released by artists in the form of
albums, with tracks. Such an approach still logically organizes and
describes the vast, vast majority of most people's music collections. 


As far as the desired behavior, of course a default hierarchy and
database organization can be or not be whatever is chosen. Personally,
I have no problem with a "plug" in cases where an essential field is
otherwise blank or not meaningful.
