I'm not sure I have multiple ALBUMARTIST tags myself either (I can't
tell until I get home), but it is a strong possibility for a small
number of albums.

eg. An album containing tracks by Robert Fripp and Brian Eno. I would
declare that album with both artists as individual artists.  If one
song also has a guest performer (or maybe one track only by Brian Eno),
there would be differing artists on songs on the album, so I would set
the ALBUMARTIST to reflect the main artists on the album - Robert
Fripp;Brian Eno.

I could browse to Artist Robert Fripp and see the album listed, or I
could browse to Brian Eno and see the album listed.  If I Browse Albums
and sort by Artist, if it uses the albums.contributor field, which can
contain only one artist, it would show up sorted under only one of the
artists (but denote both album artists).

Thinking about it, that's probably the correct thing for SC to do.  If
browsing Artists > Robert Fripp, and sorting the page by artist, album,
I wouldn't want the album appearing in the list twice (once for Brian
Eno, and once for Robert Fripp).  I guess it probably chooses to sort
by the first album artist (albums.contributor the same as the first
album artist contributor detected for the album).

It is probably an unusual case that happens very infrequently.
