I have an album "Trojan Dub Massive Chapter Two", which is labelled as by 
artist Bill Laswell.  The album however contains various artists.

I have tagged each track with the actual artist, and also added the tag 
ALBUMARTIST="Bill Laswell" to each track.

This works well, in that the album isn't listed under "Various Artists" - I can 
see the album appearing under Bill Laswell in my Browse Artists list (and 
somehow it is sorted under L for Laswell, even though there is no tag such as 
ALBUMARTISTSORT - must be because it detects other albums that I have by this 
artist where I have an ARTISTSORT tag?).

However, each individual track artist is being blown out into the Browse Artist 
list too.  This was unexpected for me, as my Compilations Behaviour settings 
are:

Composer, Band and Orchestra in Artists:
        "Band/Orchestra" is unticked.

Compilations:
        "Group compilation albums together"
        "List albums by band"

I believe that ALBUMARTIST and BAND tags are considered to be the same thing in 
SlimServer.

I guess that the album isn't considered a compilation album, as I have 
specified an ALBUMARTIST tag, and therefore SlimServer doesn't look at the 
"List albums by band" setting.

Does anyone else think this is a bug, or have I misunderstood these settings or 
what is happening?

Phil
