I completely agree, I was just trying to say that there should only be
one and never more than one artist entry in the database named "Various
Artists". This might already be the case, I might just have misread some
previous post.
So, if SBS option is "Various Artists" and ALBUMARTIST="Various
Artists" there should only be one "Various Artists" in the database.
And, if SBS option is "Compilations" and ALBUMARTIST="Various Artists"
there should be two entries in the database, one for "Various Artists"
and one for "Compilation". Assuming I've select to let SBS group
compilation albums of course.

I'm not talking about removing any scanning logic, I'm only talking
about changing the browsing logic so the automatically generated
"Various Artists" entry is treated exactly the same as any other album
artist.
However, to be completely correct, I suspect (but doesn't know for
sure) that the scanning logic that currently doesn't generate properly
contributor_track/contributor_album entries for the automatically
created "Various Artists" may have to be changed so it produce the
necessary entries in contributor_track/contributor_album in same way as
any ALBUMARTIST tag already does today.
