Historically I have always tagged albums which contain tracks by various
Artists so that each track has the Artist Name set to the Artists Name, the
Track Title set to the Title of the Track and the Album Title set to the
Title of the Album.

 

I and using Tag & Rename to do all my tagging.

 

In this way if I browse artists I can see all the tracks by that artist
including their entries on Various Artist Albums.

 

I have started using AAC seriously now and it seems to pick up each instance
of an Artist with a song on a Various Artists album as a separate Album.

 

Is there something I should be doing in Tag and rename to flag the fact that
it is a Various Artists album (I see that there is a tickbox for
'Compilation Album' and should this in turn have some impact on the way that
AAC 2.x sees the albums? Testing so far has been unsuccessful to when I get
a VA album with 20 artists - AAC will ask me 20 times to select the album
art - which I guess cannot be quite correct?
