It's still working okay for me.

There's an option to list songs by each artist, or "Group compilation
albums together".  You need to pick the later.  This should not require
a rescan.

Track artists (artists that are contributors when there is an album
artist tag on a song) are then not displayed in the main Browse Artists
list, unless they also have regular albums.

When browsing an artist, all albums that the artist has involvement on
will be listed.  That includes regular albums, compilation albums,
guest performances on albums by another artist, etc.

You can sort the albums for that artist by "artist, album", and the
albums will be sorted by the album artist if there is one, so all
compilation album appearances would be sorted together under "Various
Artists", which is almost what you want.

eg. "Browse Artists > R.E.M." then sort by "artist, album":
Automatic For The People by R.E.M.
Green by R.E.M
Murmur by R.E.M.
