I can certainly understand the logic behind calling that type of album a
compilation. And I've seen how All Music uses the designation, which
makes some sense. In their interface you can view an artist's
non-compilation albums, or their compilation albums, or both together.
This is nice for artists who've had dozens of different compilation
albums released. Think Frank Sinatra.

I just tested it out in LMS 7.9. The behavior is a little
screwy/inconsistent (which is common with LMS). I marked several "Best
of" albums with a COMPILATION=1 tag and ALBUMARTIST tags. These
compilations _do_ correctly appear under the artist's name when browsing
by artist. And when browsing by album and sorting by artist name, they
appear in the proper place, sorted by the album artiist's name.

The bug, or inconsistency appears when viewing the albums of Various
Artists, where that album is incorrectly listed.
