Let's say you want to browse the "main" artists in your library. Artists
that have albums. You browse "Album Artists". But you'll have access to
all of their recordings, including their one track on a soundtrack album
and that track on a Christmas collection. Now, lets say you want to see
everyone in your library, even those 350 people that you never really
heard of who have a track on an 80s disco hits collection or a 1970s AM
radio hits release, or who sang as a guest on a 1956 Peter Seger album.
You can browse "All Artists". And "all" really means ALL: both the
common and the obscure artists in your library.

The alternative (and the way it used to work) is to set the option to a
"Single, configurable list of artists" and then set either "List
compilation albums under each artist" or "Group compilation albums
together". The former configures the artist list to include all artists,
while the latter makes it include only album artists. So it was an
either/or deal. If you wanted an uncluttered artist list, then you
didn't have an easy way to browse the more obscure artist names in the
library. With the new option, you have both immediately available.
