Why would anyone have ALBUMARTIST and COMPILATION=1 on a track ? Is
there a reason for this ?
The only reason I can think of is if you don't want the artist to
appear in the artist list and instead appear under "Various Artists".
Or maybe if you want compilation "Best of xxx" albums which only have
tracks of a single artist to appear under "Various Artists".
Still, it feels correct that the artist isn't included in the main
artist list, I just feel that it might not be necessary to handle this
special case.
COMPILATION=0 is different, because that is used to force the
individual ARTIST tags to appear directly in the main artist list and I
assume this works also together with an ALBUMARTIST tag.
