iLounge has a great explanation in their Q&A this week of the “Compilations” feature in iTunes. Thank God! Now I can get all those random artists out of my artist list…

iLounge: “The purpose of the “Part of a Compilation” checkbox in your track
information in iTunes is to flag a given track as belonging to a
“compilation” album rather than a traditional album. This is normally
used for albums that contain multiple artists, and can also be used for
albums with “featured” artists.
Tracks marked as “Part of a Compilation” can be grouped separately
and omitted from the normal artist listings. This can be used, for
instance, to prevent “one-hit wonders” from appearing in your artists
list simply because they have a single track that is part of a
soundtrack album, or happen to have been featured on another artist’s
album.”
