Thanks.

That's fine.  Wasn't sure what's meant to be fully working or in-progress.

Good idea.

Is that a problem with the scanner, or just the way the db is queried?  i.e. 
will a full rescan be required?

Ah, okay.  It seems wrong to me that browsing to show albums by "Various 
Artists" can show albums that are not by "Various Artists" :-)

Sorry, old terminology.  I mean "My Music > Album Artists" list.

In my opinion, Album Artists should just be a list of artists that have albums, 
and not anything special for albums that have a compilation flag.  Leave it to 
the scanner to decide what album artist to assign to each album.

Yes, I was back on 7.9.

I think it was artists from compilations, which you said was a bug you have now 
fixed?  Seemed to be affecting both old and new lists though.
