Organising results from JSON file using Python lists?

I've parsed a JSON file containing Track Names and Album Names of about 3000 songs, and was getting nowhere with trying to organise it into a list of lists or something similar?

I essentially want to sort the items into a list of unique albums, each containing a list of tracks, and was wondering if this was actually possible, as I'm don't know how to assigned names to lists?

My code so far is as follows:

import json  from pprint import pprint    with open('.../playlist.json', encoding="utf-8") as f:      data = json.load(f)    for playlist in data['playlists']:      if playlist['name'] == 'PLAYLIST3':          for item in playlist['items']:              track = item['track']['trackName']              album = item['track']['albumName']  

Also, the songs aren't sorted in any particular manner.

EDIT: This is what I did, which seemed to work fine in creating a list of dictionaries with a list of songs as the value and the album name as the key:

import json  from pprint import pprint    with open('C:/Users/nambi/Desktop/parse/playlist.json', encoding="utf-8") as f:      data = json.load(f)    listOfAlbums = {}    for playlist in data['playlists']:      if playlist['name'] == 'P4':          for item in playlist['items']:              title = item['track']['trackName']              album = item['track']['albumName']                if album in listOfAlbums:                  listOfAlbums[album].append(title)              else:                  listOfAlbums[album] = [title]
