The most common method of tagging compilation albums is to set the Album Artist tag to the string "Various Artists". Many ripping utilities do this automatically if they detect the album is a compilation. Mine doesn't (iTunes) so I just manually update the tags whenever I rip a compilation album.

This works perfectly with my flac files! Strangely, however, it does not work with my compilation albums in mp3-format! Although I added an Album Artist tag with the string "Various Artists", these albums are split into a multitude of albums with the same album title but different artists. And they don't appear under "Various Artists" at all. I have tagged the mp3 files the same way as the flac files. Does anyone else encounter this problem?
