Isn't that exactly what the option above it - "Group compilation albums
together/List under each artist" is intended to do?

I have a bug filed about that option too - it would logically make
sense that it not apply only to compilations, as you can have multiple
artists and "track only" artists on non-compilations now.  All you need
to do is explicitly set COMPILATION=0.

You'd almost have to decifer the code to determine the intended
behavior, although by now, I'm sure that it's either been forgotten or
changed enough that even the developers could no longer say.

Again, that would seem to have been the intention of the other option.
