That's what I was wondering, and I see what you mean.  It looks like my
limited use case for ALBUMARTIST, to optionally "promote" an otherwise
VA-only artist to "full artist list" status, is really a misuse of the
tag: trying capitalize on a side effect, which unfortunately has an
attendant undesirable side-effect of genre pollution.

So, what is an ALBUMARTIST for, in the SBS context?  In the classical
music realm, if you are composer-centric, you'll tag your library so
that ARTIST == composer.  And because composers rarely stray outside of
a single genre (at least given the genre classifications that I use) it
seems like ALBUMARTIST has next to no role to play in such a
collection.

So, back to the drawing board.

PS: I think what's changed in terms of VA with 7.6 is that it's now on
by default.  But if you're implying that this discussion really belongs
in the tagging forum, I'll concede that point.
