Yes, since itunes is so widespread it is a good idea to be compatible with its tagging

Do you think an album tagged with TXXX COMPILATION=1 should trigger this special iTunes treatment? If not, do you think TXXX COMPILATION=1 should have any special semantics in MinimServer compared with (for example) TXXX COLLECTION=1?

I'm not sure how many people use a custom TXXX frame to identify compilations. Eventually you can add an option to configure the TXXX name that holds that info for the rare user who use it.
The foobar2000 discogs tagging plugin (that I wrote) will at least make use of it and will write TXXX COMPILATION=1 when appropriate.
