The difference with having COMPILATION=0 is that you will have artist 
contributors instead of track artist contributors.

i.e. if you view the song details for a song on a compilation album, you will 
see something like:

        Album: 28 Days Later Soundtrack
        Album Artist: Various Artists
        Artist: John Murphy
        Genre: Dance
        Year: 2003

If you view the song details for a song with guest performers on an album with 
an album artist:

        Album: Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
        Album Artist: PJ Harvey
        Track Artist: Thom Yorke, PJ Harvey
        Genre: Alternative
        Year: 2000

Adding COMPILATION=0 to the above example means you get Artists instead of 
Track Artists, like the first example.

The Browse Album list shows Artists and Album Artists, not Track Artists.  It 
seems that the Music Library setting "Group compilation albums together" 
prevents artists from appearing if they only appear on compilation albums.

Personally, I think it's a bit weird - I think it would be easier to explain to 
people if the presence of an album artist always caused Track Artists instead 
of Artists, and the Music Library setting filtered in/out track artists.
