A follow-up to this...

I had set all of my ALBUMARTIST tags using mp3tag.  When I imported the folder 
into iTunes, it didn't seem to recognise the ALBUMARTIST tag.  I have found 
that if I select the songs belonging to the same album in iTunes and select 
"Get Info" I can re-enter the Album Artist.  iTunes seems to save this in the 
BAND tag (is this a bug, or Apple just totally nuts?).

I don't want the artist name in the BAND tag, but I have found that if I then 
reopen the album in mp3tag, I can remove the BAND tag and iTunes still seems to 
remember the Album Artist.

So I do seem to be able to get iTunes to group songs on an album together 
without using the iTunesCompilation tag, and without messing up my Slimserver 
DB, but it's a painful exercise.
