Okay, I have an idea, but I can't test it because I'm literally a few
thousand km from my SB setup. On compilation albums, if you browse by
artist SBS will normally show you both albums in which that artist is
the only artist, as well as compilation albums on which that artist has
one or more tracks. If you drill down on one of those compilation
albums, then it only shows the tracks on which that artist appears as a
track artist, not the tracks on which the artist does not appear. This
is normal (some may debate whether or not it is correct, but it's
normal).

When you drill down to the compilation album(s) by album artist Hifi,
you don't have any tracks by artist Hifi. So maybe that's why it is
showing as empty. I have an album that is similarly tagged, though for
completely different reasons. It's a tribute album on which a lot of
different artists do Greg Brown songs, but Greg Brown isn't on any of
the tracks. I put Greg Brown as ALBUMARTIST because I want it to show
up with his stuff when I browse by artist, and COMPILATION=1 because it
is a compilation from different artists. When I get home I'll take a
look to confirm that it does indeed show up with his other albums, and
secondly, what happens when I try to drill down to the track level.

In the meantime, others who know the ARTIST, ALBUMARTIST, COMPILATION
interactions better than I may happen by to give you some good advice.
I know what works for me, but there are tons of other combinations and
permutations.
