Personally, I have never had to set a comp=0 tag, ever, for anything.  

I have never had server call something with no comp tags AND album
artist tags a comp.  if it ever has done so, I would love to know the
criteria necessary to cause it?

My understanding is this:

There are only 2 circumstances u would need a comp=0 tag:

1. Server is identifying something as a comp, for whatever reason, and
the user wants to force server to NOT recognize whatever it is as a
comp.

(Again, not something I ever have an issue with, since I put album
artist tags on everything)

2. A user has a CD ripped such that different tracks are in different
folders, (like iTunes did, and maybe still does), and by setting comp=0
the CD shows as one album, but not a comp.  imagine a CD like Duets. 
The differing folders would have made server think it's differing albums
when it isn't, (I think, or maybe the different artists in different
folders, etc) but it's also not a comp.  so the comp=0 tag "fixes" the
issue.

(Again, not something I ever have an issue with, since I always rip one
CD to one folder.  Imo, server shouldn't accommodate bad behavior by
crap like iTunes, but there it is)

So bottom line is most people shouldn't need or use comp=0 tags.  Even
if they have some justification by the 2 usage cases above, server is
buggy enough to where u still can get weird results.  The two links in
my sig and bugzilla have documentation of such bizarre behaviors.
