There are so many old threads on various artists, it is just making me
more confused when I read through them. Here's my problem:

For the majority of my various artist compilations, I want each song
artist in the artist list. Therefore, I have set compilations behavior
to "List compilations under each artist." However, there are a handful
which I want to appear under a common "Album Artist." I thought the
"List albums by band" option would cause the Band/TPE2 tag to override
whatever is in the track artist tag, but this does not appear to be the
case. 

Let me give you a few examples where I would find it useful to have a
way to designate an "Album Artist" that overrides "Track Artist":

Example 1:
A CD called the "The Great Blues Men" is tagged with each artist for
the songs. However, I only want to see "The Great Blues Men" in My
artist list for this particular CD since I am not likely to be
searching for these particular artists by name.

Example 2:
I have albums by:
--> Dave Matthews Band
--> Dave Matthews (Solo)
--> Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds

… but I want them all to appear under the "Album Artist" Dave
Matthews.

Example 3:
A soundtrack where there is one primary album artist, but a handful of
tracks feature another artist. I want this only to appear for the album
artist.

Is it possible to get what I want in the latest Slimserver?
