No, that's wrong - the "Artists list" shows a list of artists, and that CAN be 
controlled by the "Group compilations" setting.

I think you mean the music displayed for a selected artist shows all music, not 
just complete albums.

Pressing play whilst sitting on an artist in the Browse Artists list should 
play all music by that artist.

Correct.

It's purely based on tags.  If you have a cover version by Britney Spears, the 
artist tag should be set to only Britney Spears, as she is the only performer 
on the track.  I personally set a custom tag (eg ORGINALARTIST=Johnny Cash) and 
use a Custom Browse menu to view cover songs (I have two menus - one to view 
covers by cover artist and then original artist, and one to view by original 
artist and the cover artist).

How are you tagging?  putting Johnny Cash as the COMPOSER?  I leave COMPOSER 
for classical music only.
