Yes, there is a way to precisely control what goes under various artists
and what doesn't. What you have to do is to not let slimserver decide
this for you but do it yorself.

Under the server settings -> behaviour you must choose to list the
album under each artist.

Then you need to use a program that tags your files correctly (for MP3s
I use MP3tag) and add the following tag to each file: ALBUMARTIST=Guided
by Voices.

For albums you want to go under Various Artists you have to add the
tag: ALBUMARTIST=Various Artists

Other neat uses are for example to create other "Various Artists"
categories. For instance I group all soundtracks separately. Also if
some songs in an album contain some guest artists but you want them
listed only under the main artist then you just use ALBUMARTIST=<name
of the main artst>

Hope it helps.
