I second the above.

The difference between a comp=0 and no comp tag, is that LMS will try to
interpret what the comp tag is if it isn't set. This becomes an issue at
times when the ARTIST tag is not the same for every track on an album,
which does occur when you have a true compilation album, but will also
occur in situations where the artist tags differ because of a guest
artist or other variation.  

I believe the intent is that if the Album Artist is set that it should
act like the comp tag = 0, but that was not perfect.

So, in my own library, I set comp=0 for most albums, except those that
are truly a various artists compilation, in which case I set comp=1.  

This is all less than perfect and somewhat of a hack on perhaps the real
intentions, but I've not had any issues since I started setting a comp
tag for every file (0 or 1).  I'm sure it would be problematic if I was
using other software, but LMS and one other software (MediaMonkey) are
my only music library software.
