flac2mp3 has a defined set of tags that it copies from flac files to mp3
files.
These are:
our %MP3frames = (
'ALBUM' => 'TALB',
'ARTIST' => 'TPE1',
'COMMENT' => 'COMM',
'DATE' => 'TYER',
'GENRE' => 'TCON',
'TITLE' => 'TIT2',
'TRACKNUMBER' => 'TRCK',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID' => 'TXXX',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMSTATUS' => 'TXXX',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMTYPE' => 'TXXX',
'MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID' => 'TXXX',
'MUSICBRAINZ_SORTNAME' => 'TXXX',
'MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID' => 'UFID',
'MUSICBRAINZ_TRMID' => 'TXXX',
);
For "simple" tags, it is sufficient to just add them to this hash and
they will be converted.

I'm not sure how iTunes classifies an album as a compilation, but you
can see if it's a tag-related issue by checking the tags in the mp3
files produced by iTunes and those converted from flac.
