For my purposes, AA on every track (with some = VA) is equivalent to
Comp=1 on some tracks without AA on every track. What's key for me is
that some of the artists on multi-artist albums don't all show up in my
regular ARTIST listing.

Correct. under this condition it doesn't matter. Complete AA tags =
(Comp=1) for some. Just two different approaches to reach the same SbS
outcome. I'm agnostic as long as I can get the outcome I want. I always
suggest adding comp =1 to posters here that are having problems with
their SbS listings as I perceive that as easier than telling them to
add AA to all their albums. I realize that one can use mp3tag to create
AA from artist field very easily and to add VA to all comp albums as
desired. But when a poster is coming here who is just learning what a
tag is to begin with, the comp=1 answer seems easier to digest.

Agree.
