It's not up to me, it's up to itunes in this case. Unless you punch in compilation, it won't let you sort by album if that album has multiple artists. I *want* it to sort by album, but was unable. The only thing I can assume is that itunes coders thought if you run across two albums both with mulitple artitsts and you sort by album, the two albums would be merged...so it forces you to select the album as one and mark compilation so it knows these multiple artists with one album name do in fact belong on the same album.
I probably would have opted for letting itunes sort by album with multiple artists without the extra tagging, and then make you tag extra if you happen to have multiple unrelated albums named the same.
