I agree that would be nice to provide Browse Artists and Browse All Artists.  
However, it doesn't just affect Browse Artists.  It also affect other browse 
hierarchies that can display a list of artists.

eg. Browse Genres > Rock, would then show a list of artists that have albums in 
the Rock genre.  So, should that show only Album Artists or All Artists?

The "group compilation albums" pref I assume works across the board for 
anywhere where a list of artists is displayed.

I don't think it's sensible to try to modify existing SBS behaviours through a 
third-party app, but adding additional browse menus is fine.  This has already 
been done with Custom Browse.

That's what current happens.  The setting "Group Compilation Albums" has the 
information it needs already in the DB, which was set up at scan time.
