That's a very good point.

But it doesn't necessarily take a COMPILATION tag to do this. If you
have one or more tracks on any of those albums with a different ARTIST
tag, then it will be detected as a compilation and appear with the other
albums under Various Artists. With the default server settings, Toto
would be seen only as a 'track' artist and would be kept out of the
artist list.

There are two ways this could happen. One if you have a guest artist
added as an additional artist on one of the tracks, and the other is by
having a track on an album sung by someone else.

The simplest way to fix this would be to add an ALBUMARTIST=Toto field
to the albums. Alternatively, you could add a COMPILATION=0 field  that
would keep the album from being marked a compilation. You might want to
review the ARTIST and ALBUMARTIST fields in these files, however, just
to make sure they don't contain some kind of error, such as a typo.
