This isn't quite how its working.  For my FLAC files that have "ALBUM
ARTIST" set to "Various Artists", the individual artists do not appear
when GCAT is set.  When GCAT is unset, individual artists appear.  This
works fine.

For the WMA files, WMP sets WM/AlbumArtist to "Various Artists", but
unlike FLAC files, all artists show up regardless of the GCAT setting,
AND the "Various Arists" artist appears as well. 

I have no COMPILATION tags anywhere.

The behaviour of FLAC and WMA files should be consistent when tagged
typically and properly.  Since WMP sets WM/AlbumArtist, (which
SlimServer internally maps to ALBUMARTIST), the logical that hides
artists for WMA should be the same as that used for FLAC.
