The following is an example of using the specific xbox node types.

<vfolder name="Music" id="1">
  <vfolder name="Music/All Music" id="4">
    <items type="object.item.audioItem.musicTrack" />
  </vfolder>
</vfolder>

In order to get browsing based on artist then album, change these lines in vfolder.cfg

  <vfolder_layout device="Xbox 360" enabled="true" create_references="true" create_container_details="true">
   <vfolder name="Root" id="0">
    <vfolder name="Music" id="1">
     <vfolder name="Album" id="7">
      <vfolders property="album" type="object.container.album.musicAlbum">
       <items type="audioItem" />
      </vfolders>
     </vfolder>

    <vfolder name="All Music" id="4">
     <items type="audioItem" />
    </vfolder>
      
    <vfolder name="Artist" id="6">
     <vfolders property="artist" type="object.container.person.musicArtist" >
      <items type="audioItem" />
     </vfolders>
    </vfolder>
      
    <vfolder name="Genre" id="5">
     <vfolders property="genre" type="object.container.genre.musicGenre" >
      <items type="audioItem" />
     </vfolders>
    </vfolder>
      
    <vfolder name="Playlist" id="15">
     <vfolders property="playlist" type="object.container.playlistContainer" >
      <items type="audioItem" />
     </vfolders>
    </vfolder>
   </vfolder>
