Okay so now we have some detail.  The REAL problem is that WinAmp and
WMP are buggy, correct?  And you need to mistag the music in order for
these buggy apps to work.  First off, I certainly hope that you've
filed feature requests for these apps to get them working correctly. 
Secondly, I believe setting the compilation tag to 1 allows
SqueezeCenter to work even with music that's been mistagged as you
describe.  If it's not then I'd agree we have a bug.

Assuming there are more problems than what you've described, then yes. 
It's possible that WMP and WinAmp are both so buggy that there's no way
to tag your music such that it will work the same in both the buggy
apps and in a well-behaving app like SqueezeCenter.  However I haven't
seen evidence that this is the case.  Generally speaking if an app is
so buggy that it forces you to mistag your data, I'd look into using
other apps.

I suppose it depends on the collection.  My collection has about 350
albums and 2 were improperly guessed.  But since the improper guess was
due to inadequate tagging, they were correctly detected once I provided
adequate information in the tags.

Can you provide a specific example of a compilation that cannot be made
to work in SqueezeCenter with proper tagging?  As of this moment I'm not
sure such a thing exists.  To me, it sounds like this whole thread is
about bugs in WinAmp and Windows Media Player.
