This is inconsistent with what I am seeing. I just checked several
artists and in some cases both the album artist and artist are in the
artist list, but in some cases only the album artist appears.

Several examples:

----------------- Example 1 ----------------- 
Album Artist: Tom Petty
Artist: Tom Petty
Artist: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Artist: Mudcrutch

SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes:
Tom Petty
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
(NOT Mudcrutch)

----------------- Example 2 ----------------- 
Album Artist: Jakob Dylan
Artist: Jakob Dylan
Artist: The Wallflowers

SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes:
Jakob Dylan
The Wallflowers

----------------- Example 3 ----------------- 
Album Artist: Rob Thomas
Artist: Rob Thomas
Artist: Matchbox Twenty
Artist: Tabitha's Secret

SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes:
Rob Thomas
Tabitha's Secret
(NOT Matchbox Twenty)

----------------- Example 4 ----------------- 
Album Artist: Brian Setzer
Artist: The Brian Setzer Orchestra
Artist: Stray Cats

SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes:
Brian Setzer
(NOT The Brian Setzer Orchestra)
(NOT Stray Cats)

----------------- Example 5 ----------------- 
Album Artist: Dave Matthews
Artist: The Dave Matthews Band
Artist: Dave Matthews
Artist: Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds

SQUEEZECENTER Artist list includes:
Dave Matthews
Dave Matthews Band
(NOT Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds)
----------------------------------

And now I have a headache from trying to figure this out.
Unfortunately, the software I use for tagging and playback on the PC
doesn't support multiple ALBUMARTIST tags or that would be a good
solution.
