Success!! I discovered while tinkering with the files that iTunes had stopped using my chosen location for the music library (a folder shared across different user accounts) and had gone back to the default home/music/itunes music location.
Annoying as it meant my music was spread across different folders (though iTunes still found it all and treated it properly). I suspect it happened as part of an update to the latest version of iTunes but I really don't know. So, I consolidated the library (within iTunes) and it is now all in the default location. While doing the consolidation, iTunes has changed the way it stores compilations. It now stores them in a folder called 'Compilations'. This is because the rest are stored by Artist. Following a further clear and rescan, SqueezeCenter now sees the compilations as a compilation and treats them correctly! Thanks for all your help guys - it is wonderful that there is such a helpful community available. SqueezeCenter is set to 'use iTunes'. I suspect that if it hadn't been set that way, it would never have even found most of the music (90% was in the shared folder that is not being pointed to as the iTunes folder). So, all good, and a slightly tidier computer to boot (though I need to re set-up m music sharing).
