A simple solution would be to set "Album Artist" fields in all compilation file as etc. "Various Artists". I use Itunes and prefere to leave the Album Artist blank and instead use the Compilation option only.

I suggest a more elegant solution would be a compilations tag option under MinimServer where people can insert the artist tag they prefer.

When this text tag is set to etc. "Various Artists" then all individual artists from compilations should be filtered out of the "Artist" list but exists under the "All Artists" list.

Would be great to have a link under the artist list to search deeper after that specific artist under "All Artist" with would include all the compilations also.

The problem reported by the OP related to MinimServer's incorrect handling of files that don't have an album tag (and therefore aren't part of a compilation album). I think you have something different in mind, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. Please explain the scenario that isn't working for you.
