On the settings page 'My Music' there is a Compilations section which
has the following options (which I have set showing the X).

- You can choose to have compilation albums appear together under
"Various Artists" or have them appear under each artist in the
compilation.
"List compilation albums under each artist"
"Group compilation albums together" X

- Albums that contain songs that are tagged with a band may be listed
under that band name or with the other artists for that album. The band
tag is also known as TPE2 and may appear as the "album artist" in some
software.
"List albums by all artists for that album"
"List albums by band" X

- The MP3 tag format does not provide a standard way of defining an
Album Artist. Some MP3 tagging tools use the TPE2 field for Album
Artist (iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media Player) while others may use it
for the intended meaning of "Band/orchestra". Select the meaning you
would like Squeezebox Server to use. Changing this setting will start a
rescan of your music library.
"Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Band"
"Treat TPE2 MP3 tag as Album Artist" X

So I am trying to use the "ALBUM ARTIST" tag (written by mp3tag) to put
the compilation albums under Various Artists rather than spread across
the artists on the disc.

I'll double check the actual ID3 tag with a hex editor to be sure
everything is tagged correctly.
