What do you hope to accomplish by having an album marked as a
"compilation"?

If you set ALBUMARTIST to -anything-, and 'Group compilation albums
together' is set, the individual artists will be considered 'track'
arists and will not appear in your artist list.  This is what most
people want, so that the artist list isn't cluttered by one-track
artists.

Example: I have a Frank Sinatra album where he performs with a
different artist on each track - 'Duets'.  I tag it with
ALBUMARTIST=Frank Sinatra, no COMPILATION tag.  The album appears
sorted with the other Frank Sinatra albums and singers like 'Charles
Aznavour' don't clutter up the artist list.

When browsing album sorted by artist:

If you set ALBUMARTIST to 'Soundtrack" then all of your soundtracks
will be sorted and listed under 'Soundtrack'.

If you set ALBUMARTST to 'Various Artists' then these albums will be
sorted under 'Various Artists'.

That's good, right?  I think (not 100% certain) that if you mark each
of those albums with COMPILATION=1 you'll get the exact same behavior
when ALBUMARTIST is also set.
