I am in complete agreement with this point of view. To base an an argument on 3 pieces of tagging software that dont write Compilation tags when the one with the greatest market share (iTunes) and at least as many others DO write said tags is just ridiculous. I have come across the Various Artists string bug but actually it was me that incorrectly populated the albumartist tag iirc. The workaround is indeed trivial. I agree it isnt worth the dev effort as I am sure that Michael will have looked at it by now and the code changes required must be very significant otherwise he would have done it. For the record if I see a Compilation tag I delete it immediately but my ripper / tagger of choice has too many other features I do like to throw it away and use one of the non Compilation tag variety. I will live with an occasional album appearing in Various Artists when it shouldnt and know that when it happens I may need to re-tag.
