You can queue entire albums or artists by dragging them to the queue,
or in the upcoming 1.9.1 release, click them and press `q` or
right-click them and 'Add to Play Queue'.  As of Banshee 1.9.0 you can
also "Play After" the current playing Track, Album, or Artist (which
modifies your play queue appropriately).

You should be able to just add the album to the queue; when the song
is done, the play queue will start playing, and when it's finished
(assuming you have it in manual mode) playback will return to your
Music or playlist.

I'm sure our UI/UX isn't perfect, so if you have any suggestions or do
come up w/ some patches, that's great!
