i don't think so. your 5 examples, (and excellent work btw!), don't cover Phil Leigh's example here. his example is an album that: has no AA has multiple artists per track has a comp = 0 tag interestingly, i'm not sure the comp=0 tag is even needed, b/c while all his tracks have more than one artist listed, they are the SAME multiple artists on every track on the album. so i don't know if SBS would detect that as a VA album or not?

Simple. not for sorting. the album will only be there once, so who is it under? thats what i'm asking Jim basically.

(and obviously, if it were the other one, not not the first one?) i mean, as an end result, it feels wrong somehow for the album to be listed twice, but it also feels wrong to be listed only once under only one of the artists, if you see what i mean?
