id3v2.3 tags are held in frames.  A frame is named with four characters, like 
TPE1, etc.  The frame names are defined in the id3 standard.

There is no frame designed specifically for compilation.

SqueezeCenter understands TXXX COMPILATION.  TXXX is a frame that allows any 
user-defined tag to be stored.  COMPILATION is the name of the user defined tag.

iTunes made up their own four-character frame name "TCMP".  It isn't part of 
the standard; and could potentially cause some apps to have problems.  Many 
apps can't read/write this tag.

Mp3Tag does read TCMP - it calls it "ITUNESCOMPILATION".
