My proposal was to update the UI to have a Compilations browse mode.  Adding 
CLI support to get compilations would be a bonus.

However, compilation albums would still be listed somewhere within the artsits 
and albums view, under whatever album artist that album has.  If no album 
artist tag is specified, "Various Artists" would be used, so they would all 
still be available in the same way as they are now, except there wouldn't be a 
"Various Artists" special entry at the top of the artists, just a normal list 
of artists.

So if there's no CLI support for browsing compilations, and no specific way to 
see the compilation list within Whitebear, it's not the end of the world - the 
albums could still be found in the same way.
