just wondering if anyone figured out an answer to the op's question. i
think this is actually a bug.  simply put, slimserver is not diplaying
the band (tpe2) info in the artist list if set to "group compilation
albums together".

settings are "group comps together" and "list albums by band".  all
three check boxes are ticked at the top of the behavior page.

likely just a display bug because of the following:

test library is one trojan box set and one chopin album.  trojan box
set has BAND (i.e. tpe2) set to "trojan" with ARTIST tags being unique.
browsing by artist shows me "various artists" and "chopin".  "trojan"
is not shown.  clicking on "various artists" shows me the trojan box
set.  slimserver reports two albums by one artist. searching for
"trojan" gets me "artists matching 'trojan': 1".  and then i can click
on "trojan", taking me to the album.  now the navigation bar shows
"Home / Artists / trojan". (wha!!)  clicking "Artists" takes me back to
the artist list, but still no "trojan" there.

hope that makes sense.  seems like a bug to me.  seems like slimserver
is using tpe2 to get artist info (as evidenced by the search) as
intended, but it is just not listing the tpe2 info in the artist list
when "group compilation albums together" is chosen. and if this is not
chosen, the artist list gets completely overrun with one-off artists in
addition to showing "trojan" in the artist list (as an example).  seems
silly.  

if anyone agrees, i'll submit a report.
