I think it should work out the same.  I have _one_ album like this in
my library.  A compilation produced by David Byrne called "Brazil
Classics 2: O Samba" that I want to see under David Byrne.  I mark it
as a COMPILATION and set the ALBUMARTIST to Daivd Byrne.

It seems to get sorted out just like I want, but I wonder if it isn't
more luck than anything. :)

Theoretically, it shouldn't make any difference, but in practice it's a
matter of finding the right id3v tags (frames).  Flac is more or less
the base standard in SlimServer, mostly because of the flexible and
relatively straightforward tagging system.  Sometimes getting the much
more rigid Mp3/id3 tags to conform can be a chore.

Downlaod Mp3tag ( http://mp3tag.de/en ).  Then tag these files by
adding a BAND tag of 'Adam Freeland' and a COMPILATION tag of 0.  Use
the View > Extended Tags dialog (or the paper with pencil icon).  Then
run a clear/rescan and see if it comes up something like you envision.
