I'm a bit confused about tagging albums with guest artists.

For instance.
Aerosmith - O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits.
On one track, Run-D.M.C. appears.

I have this tagged as:
ARTIST = Aerosmith
ARTIST = Run-D.M.C.
COMPILATION = 0
TITLE = Walk This Way (Performed By Run-D.M.C.)

But then Run-D.M.C. appears when I browse artist. And that's a bit
stupid since it's the only song I have with them.
Would It be better to not have the ARTIST = Run-D.M.C. tag, and then
only search in the title if i want to find this band?


Another example:
The Band - The Last Waltz.
On this several guest artists appears.

I have this tagged as:
ALBUMARTIST = The Band
ARTIST = Bob Dylan
ARTIST = The Band
COMPILATION = 0
TITLE = Forever Young

When I browse artists, this album appears under Bob Dylan, which is
what I want since I have lots of Dylan albums.
But I can't see that ALBUMARTIST makes any difference. Is it
necessary?

So what I want essentially is that guest artist appears in the browse
artist list ONLY when I have some albums by them other than the ones
they're guests on.

Essentially like compilations works. Compilation artists only appears
in the browse artist list when you have an album with the artist only.

I have the compilation set to 0, since these album aren't compilations,
and I don't want them under Various Artists.

Does this make any sense at all?
Impossible?
What would be the best tagging-method?
Is ALBUMARTIST superflous?
