I've also been struggling with compilation settings recently - this is
what is working for me using mp3 / flac and wma file.

I use Tag&Rename to tag my files.  This is how it tags the files which
show up as compilations under slimserver:

*Artist* is the name of the artist of the song; (i.e.  Haze);
*Album Artist* the name of the album artist (i.e. mixed by Kings of
Tomorrow). If T&R doesn't know who the album artist is, it uses
Various.  Doesn't seem to make that much difference to my setup.
*"Part of a compilation"* is ticked. This is the bit that is crucial
for me - if I don't tick the box the album doesn't show as a
compilation.

When I do this, all compilation albums show under Various Artists in
Browse Artist (having selected this behaviour in Server Settings).

I don't have classical music, but again in Tag&Rename, there is a
seperate tag for composer, conductor and original artist.
