Yes, Album Artist is usually only filled in if you choose to. There are a few different views on this and they are equally useful I think. One view is put an album artist on every track (even though for most CDs the album artist will equal the track artist). Another view is to only include album artist on CDs where there are different track artists (this could be a true compilation (i.e., a movie soundtrack or "greatest hits of 1969" sort of thing) or even a CD that has one or more tracks with multiple artists. I lean toward the latter approach. I also add a COMPILATION =1 tag for true compilations. Also, you don't have to remove the track artist info at all as you've done for Parsons. You can leave the track artist (which is just the ARTIST field) with the different artists (e.g., Gram Parsons, Flying Burritto Brothers, International Submarine Band, etc.) and still make the ALBUM ARTIST tag for all these tracks as Gram Parsons.
