This is the first compilation option under Music Library options. 
Either group these albums together (under the VA artist) or list them
under each artist.  What it means is whether or not every single artist
should be in the artist browse list.  Say you have a compilation album
with 20 different artists.  The software at some point must recognize
that the album on which all these artist appears is a compilation album
- otherwise it's an album by 20 different artists, and each one will be
in the artist listing no matter what.

Again, there have been many, and still probably are some bugs with how
this option works.

Say I have a compilation album that is by 20 different artists.  When
it's listed in the web interface, like every other album displayed it's
going say that the album is by _someone_.  Like "Revolver by The
Beatles", I'm going to have "Verve Jazz Masters by _someone_".  If you
don't recognize the album as a compilation then it's either "by (pick
someone)" or else it's "by Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, Sarah
Vaughn, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, etc. etc."
