I started to look through that list of bug reports; many are already fixed,
some have nothing to do with compilations. Some are controversial. I added
comments on a couple of them.
In reality, there don't appear to be many bugs open about real confirmed issues
with compilation tags.

Yes, it sounds correct to me.
The "Various Artists" special SC artist appears
There is only a concept of a compilation album, not compilation tracks.
It's the combination of songs on an album that defines if an album is a
compilation or not.
Tags are always entered against songs (obviously!). Any compilation tags on
songs refer to the album, not the song, and similarly
i submitted a bug for that.

I'd go at it like this:
The COMPILATION tag is used to determine whether an album is a
compilation (various artists) or not.
If the COMPILATION tag is not available, SqueezeCenter uses the
following logic to guess whether or not an album is a compilation: If
all of the tracks on an album share t
I think the wiki could use an entry explaining SqueezeCenters handling
of compilation albums. Im willing to take a crack at it, but I dont
understand it well enough yet to do a reasonable job. Id like to pose
some questions here and hope that the answers allow me to craft a first
