I have just been ripping the compilation CD into
\genre\various\albumname\xx-artist-songtitle.flac.  and then manually
opening in mp3tag and adding the appropriate artist name with the
filename->tag function (in addition to the "Various Artist" artist tag
that is already on every track). Then in slimserver if I want to see
the entire album, I got to the "Various Artist" artist.  If I want just
the one song by a certain band, I go to that artist and the album shows
up there, but with just their 1 track on the comp album.  I have never
heard of the "albumartist" tag.  I thought these were the only tags
supported by slimserver

Also, what is the purpose of using the "compilation" tag?  If I set
this would it allow me to leave out the "various artist" tag and then
in SS I could select to have the album show up as individual artists OR
as various artists?  I do not think I like this because I prefer having
both like I do now.
