The album info page does display the album artist at the top. Do you
mean for the artists shown in the song list?

I'll have to test it. Normally I tag

ALBUMARTIST=Frank Sinatra
ARTIST=Frank Sinatra
ARTIST=Luther Vandros

I would have to see what the treatment of the following looks like.

ALBUMARTIST=Frank Sinatra
ARTIST=Luther Vandros

(An aside: I think many of these problems stem from the practice of
using the contributor role of 'Track Artist', which is not necessary.
It just complicates everything being done both in the DB queries and
the display logic. This needs to be fixed at some point, because the
current situation can't be supported.)
