It would be great if Slim could provide an Album Artist category in the
browser.
I understand a lot of SB users on this forum are perfectly happy with
the fact that when browsing through artists there are hundreds of
obscure artists listed by virtue of the fact that they appear on a
compilation album somewhere.


I do this all the time.  For id3v2, I set the album's band (TPE2) tag to
what I want to browse by (ALBUMARTIST for FLAC).

For example, here's something from the magnolia soundtrack, which I browse
to through Artist->Film Soundtracks->Magnolia:

id3v1 tag info for 01-Aimee Mann-One.mp3:
Title  : One                             Artist: Aimee Mann
Album  : Magnolia                        Year: 2000, Genre: Soundtrack (24)
Comment:                                 Track: 1
id3v2 tag info for 01-Aimee Mann-One.mp3:
TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): Aimee Mann
TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): Magnolia
TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): One
TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1
TORY (Original release year): 1999
TYER (Year): 2000
TPE2 (Band/orchestra/accompaniment): Film Soundtracks

Then, under Server settings -> Behavior, I tick the 'Band/Orchestra'
checkbox and set "group compilation albums together' and 'list albums by
band' options.
