Multidisc albums with more than one artist

The "workaround" is necessary because other albums in my collection have multiple album artists (e.g. "The Dark Knight" soundtrack with album artists "Hans Zimmer" and "James Newton Howard"). Without this workaround these albums would not be shown when browsing by album artist.

Thanks for this information. I've looked at both these albums. For "Wyatt Earp", I couldn't easily find out which artists or album artists are different on disc 3 from discs 1 and 2. You mentioned another composer for disc 3, but the composer isn't the same as the album artist or artist.

From the iTunes listing for The Dark Knight, it seems that Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard are the artists on all the tracks of this album. What is the problem with tagging these as artist names instead of album artist names?
