How do you configure Custom Nodes in MMW5? The only options I have after installing are: Show Pop & Rock genres
or
Show 5 most played tracks.

None of these are what I need. Specifically, I am trying to configure a Music Subnode for Complete Albums. Can anyone help with this?

You mentioned both nodes and sub-nodes in your query. Which of these are you wanting to create?
Firstly let's agree on the definition of "subnode" .... is it #1 or #2 in this diagram ?

FWIIW #1 is a node (aka Collection), and #2 is a sub-node.

If you asking about #2, there is no way to create a custom sub-node in MM5.
That would need to handled by a Add-on,. There was one in MM4 (MagicNodes), but I am not aware of any that could do that for you in MM5 atm

Creating a new node is simple to achieve, but it requires the Gold Version of MM5, ie. not the free version.
How it works is documented here.
The instructions are sketchy. Ask again if you need more assistance.

How do you configure Custom Nodes in MMW5?

One access: TOOLS> Options> Library>Collections and Views
Double click on your collection (Music)
Then on the Sub-Nodes tab - here you can select from the available nodes and also change the order in the view.

Re the custom nodes addon, AFAIK currently there is only the customNodes sample script (copy it from sampleScripts to scripts folder) where you can define custom nodes like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zz72gh529883r ... 4.png?dl=0
