if you are using the newest EAC, you should see:

1.CD Title
2.CD Artist
3.CD Performer

which translates to:

1.album name
2.track artist name (it puts "Various" or similar if its a comp)
3.albumartist

works well for me.  EAC does not add explicit comp tags afaik.

ah yes, welcome to server!  its not very forgiving and it does things
other apps don't.  basically, u just gotta learn and fight thru it.
