These aren't compilation albums. Both (or even more in a few cases) appear on every single track. I have some Albums consisting of Trios that don't have a name of the Trio, just 3 players. They are all AlbumArtists in my (probably misguided) way of thinking, and also are all Artists.

Use mp3tag (or puddletag which I use instead) to make a mass change in my logic would not be trivial, since I would want to check every single instance on over 25,000 tracks to make sure I wasn't creating duplicate Artist tags.
