Yes this is happening and it's a shame. The artist sort field is now using just the Album Artist field in iTunes. All of my various artists or compilations could not be found as they did not appear in my artist or album view. I had to go in to my music files and add the album artist field for all 13,000 of my songs and make sure I had no more compilations. In the process of now looking for a new app in the app store to play my physically stored music easily. I think I'm going to use the app Picky. Terrible app icon but pretty good functionality.
Yes...but....let's say you have a Green Day song as part of a compilation. That same song should also show up when you pull up all your Green Day songs in Artists. They're not though. That is wrong. You should be able to pull all songs from an artists if you're sorting by artist.
)iTunes on the Mac does what you're talking about, but not the music app. I don't even think pre 8.4 music app did this (at least not 8.0-8.3 music app and possibly even since iOS 7, maybe even ever since I don't remember what the music app from 6 and below were like anymore.
I think you're missing the point. If people uncheck the compilation tag on compilation albums, then iTunes will display each and every song with a unique artist in a compilation as a unique album. It would produce the same effect in the Music app. The purpose of the compilation tag is the prevention of this scenario.
