Do you?

It's especially weird for compilations with the default "Various Artists" album 
artist.  If the album is tagged as a compilation, and the album artist is 
"Various Artists", it's not useful to show this when playing a song, is it?

Maybe for some albums with guests, but often even then the album artist may be 
included in the track artists.

If there was an album by Metallica, with a bonus song by ABBA on the end 
(?!!!), would you really want to see: "Waterloo by Metallica & ABBA"?  I'd say 
the album is by Metallica, and the song is by ABBA.  i.e. display the album 
artist for album context, and display the track artists in song context.
