The album load is not a feature of the active_winamp API as far as I can tell. What winamp is most likely doing is a second query where album=(the selected song's album).

You can do this with the plugin as is, but will require some creative custom RR skinning. First you'll need a new button on a screen containing the playlist, that will load the entire album from the currently selected file. Basically what that button does is grab the selected song's album data from its id3 tags and run the new query mentioned above using the plugin. I'm new to RR skinning, so I'm not sure how to do this offhand. You'll have to dig through "Skin Commands.txt" in the RR folder to figure out the playlist selection and grabbing id3 data.
