Now that's interesting - that would be different in the case of a cue
sheet.  In fact it's the opposite (before my suggested fix above). If
there's no Album Artist, then even if all the track artists are
different, it will not be picked up as a compilation.  But add an Album
Artist and it will be.  My suggested fix would mean that a single
differing artist, anywhere, would cause it to be classified as a
compilation.  I guess that wouldn't suit you!

So in your opinion, at what point should an 'automatic compilation
detector' decide that it is a compilation?  I've seen lots and lots of
code within the various modules that tries to decide when it's a
compilation, so it's clearly a thorny issue. That code seems to kick in
only when the compilation flag is not set by the user.  Maybe the
compilation flag in the tags needs a 'definitely not' option, so that
the user can insist, and the automatic checks can be skipped, but I
don't really think that's feasible given that the flag seems to be a
simple boolean in many places, and given how many modules seem to be
involved.
