I think that's pretty much what you want to do.  Set
ALBUMARTIST/BAND/TPE2 identically for all the tracks on the album, even
if there are no ARTIST tags.  I think SlimServer might get confused
otherwise and you could see the album appear more than once in the db.

You might also duplicate the ALBUMARTIST as an ARTIST tag for all
tracks on the album.  I don't think any harm will come from doing so.

Sometimes, you just have to experiment with a couple albums and retag
them and rescan to see what happens.
