The discussion of tags and their interpretation is entirely different to
the main problem, there are too many developers here who are missing the
other, and more important problem: usability. 

Please, please, please can the issue of which tags, which version of
tags etc but put aside for one thread. Can you please consider the
users' perspective we don't care if the tag is Band, AlbumArtist or
what ever. That is the angels on a pinhead issue. You are missing the
mote in your eye:

The fact remains that stated way of working:
-if the album is natural compilation multiple authors and there is
album artist  it is listed under album artist.

Irrespective of whether this is Band tag, ALBUMARTIST it doesn't
matter, because this functionality is still broken!

Such an Album is still found under: Home->Artists->Various Artists
(albeit listed as by the album artist). And it is not listed under
Home->Artists->album artist. Where it is wanted.

For example:
My Favourite Band, creates an album called "Debut", all tracks are by
"My Favourite Band", the album by "My Favourite Band", but the last
track they are joined by "Guest Artist"

Currently album "Debut" is listed as being by "My Favourite Band". But
because of the last track this album is found under
"Home->Artists->Various Artists" - it's listed as "Debut" by "My
Favourite Band" - but it's in the wrong place. If I navigate to
"Home->Artists->My Favourite Band" album "Debut" is not there.

This is the real problem, not the internal representation of the band's
name.
