you're being vague... it isn't clear if you mean the tag, or the DB. i honestly don't know how other apps define comps, and other than itunes, i'm not sure any mainstream apps do? (i'm not even sure itunes does, meaning it might just use apples server DB and not an app logic, but it does set comp tags one way or another) gracenote does set TPE2 = to "Various Artists" but thats just a tag value... it indicates to the user its a comp, but i don't think any app itself says 'i see that value so i know to classify it as a comp.'

Don't want artists cluttered with appearances on > compilations. if you set a TPE2 value in your tags, AND set SC to treat your mp3s TPE2 as album artist, (not band), then SC won't think you have ANY comps, but it will ALSO suppress a VA albums artists from cluttering your artist list. the drawback is that SC won't know anything is a comp. and due to a bug, anything with "Various Artists" in TPE2 won't show up in the Home > Artists list, UNLESS you set a value in the SC settings for somewhere else for comps to be listed.
