I would never use ALBUMARTIST for a tribute album.  Much of the time
these will be compilation albums, but they're often from single
artists.  For example, John Scofield's -'That's What I Say: John
Scofield Plays the Music of Ray Charles'-.  I wouldn't want that album
to appear when I browse Ray Charles' albums, and when browsing albums
sorted by artist I want it sorted under John Scofield.
