A follow-up to this... I had set all of my ALBUMARTIST tags using mp3tag. When I imported the folder into iTunes, it didn't seem to recognise the ALBUMARTIST tag. I have found that if I select the songs belonging to the same album in iTunes and select "Get Info" I can re-enter the Album Artist. iTunes seems to save this in the BAND tag (is this a bug, or Apple just totally nuts?). I don't want the artist name in the BAND tag, but I have found that if I then reopen the album in mp3tag, I can remove the BAND tag and iTunes still seems to remember the Album Artist. So I do seem to be able to get iTunes to group songs on an album together without using the iTunesCompilation tag, and without messing up my Slimserver DB, but it's a painful exercise.
