Here here.  (Hear hear?)  I'm all for making "various artist" checking a
turn-off-able option.  I'm sure lots of people will appreciate the
compilation checking feature.  But for those folks who are hyper-anal
about their tagging (and I count myself as one,) we’ll initially
experience anything other than a strictly literal interpretation of our
tags as a loss of control…i.e. not an enhancement.  As things stand in
the 6.2 beta as of this morning, I'm a little unclear as to how to turn
this feature off, or even if that's possible.  I, for one, would
appreciate a straight-forward "Don’t check for compilation albums"
checkbox on the Server Settings->Behavior page.

I'm sure that the developers are exhibiting some extreme cleverness in
how they go about implementing this feature, and I hope I'm not
sounding unappreciative here.  However, please realize that this
particular segment of your intended audience (the hyper-anal taggers)
will be the last group to get on board with this feature.  They are
also some of your biggest fans.  But, as a group, they are all about
control.  The developers should be careful to not create the impression
(in the minds of the hyper-anal taggers) that control is being taken
away from them.
