It's unnecessary, though, when you have an ALBUMARTIST field. In fact,
I find it undesirable. For whatever quirky reason in Squeezebox Server,
having  COMPILATION=0 is not the same as having no COMPILATION tag, and
it affects how the artist list is presented.

Remember this?

I used to use COMPILATION=0, but from what I learned in that
discussion, I went back and removed them all from my library. I much
prefer the artist list without them.

If you have a guest artist on a track in a non-compilation:

ALBUM=Supernatural
TITLE=Corazon Espinado
ARTIST=Carlos Santana
ARTIST=ManĂ¡
ALBUMARTIST=Carlos Santana
ALBUMARTISTSORT=Santana, Carlos

then you probably don't want that artist appearing in your artist list,
same as for track artists on compilation albums. If you add
COMPILATION=0 to the above, then the guest artist will appear in the
artist list.
