Another possibility is the TrailMenu recipe, which allows you to use
a trail to build an expanding sidebar menu and doesn't require all of
the pages to be in a common group.

Are you talking about having the trail itself (list of pages) not
appear on the main page, or just the <<| TrailPage |>> markup?

If you want the trail markup to appear on every page in the group
except for the "Albums" (home) page (which presumably contains the
trail), put the following in the GroupFooter.

    (:if ! name Albums:)  <<| [[Albums]] |>> (:if:)


Or, you can just put <<| [[Albums]] |>> on the bottom of each 
individual song page.

If these aren't what you're looking for, write back and I'll provide
some more options!
