OK so can we agree that the logically "correct" behaviour for albums
with multiple ARTIST tags and no AA and which are not VA Comps is...
everything as it is now, except that the album should appear under each
ARTIST in album browse (as it already does in artist browse).

However, because this would create multiple entries per album in this
view it is not going to happen - so instead it should take the FIRST
named artist as the sort/location point.

I think this makes everybody reasonably happy? Or am I missing someone?
