Thanks Jim for your reply.  I am working with .wma files ripped by
Windows Media Player.  Ya I know... not ideal but that's another thread!


Your suggestion to add an ALBUMARTIST tag to prevent a compilation was
actually the key piece of info for me.  It seems that WMP added an
ALBUMARTIST tag to _all_ my files.  Typically ALBUMARTIST matches the
ARTIST tag.  In the case of a compilation album, the ARTIST tag names
the song artist while ALBUMARTIST is populated with "Various Artists."
That conflict is what seems to be my issue.   

So, I used MP3Tag to set the ALBUMARTIST field to <blank> in all my
compilation albums, rescanned, and now I see the albums filed under
Various Artists as I had expected.  

Thanks for your help.  Now it's back to enjoying music again!
