The Library loader assumes a collection is tagged using the following common conventions:
1. For non-compilation albums the Artist and AlbumArtist tags have the same value.
2. For compilation albums the AlbumArtist tag has the value "Various Artists" or any other value as long as it's consistent. This value can be specified in the Library Options screen.
The loader groups and sorts using the AlbumArtist tag if it's populated otherwise it uses the Artist tag. This coupled with #2 above is how compilation albums are automatically rolled up.
