Don't have any clearer explanation, but no, because when I select "Album Artists" on my LMS browser, I get 2,279 Album Artists. But if I select All Artists in browse, I get 17,967. Some of this is composers being included in All Artists. Also, this all artist list includes lots of track artists that are on "compilations" but don't otherwise have their own "non compilation" albums.
(Note I'm also a user that doesn't use ALBUM ARTIST tag (blank) for albums that have a single ARTIST, yet these albums all show up when browsing ALBUM ARTISTS, as previously noted.Home: Pi4B-8GB/pCP8.2.x/4TB>LMS 8.5.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet)

Slightly off topic but I have yet to fathom a good reason why people actually use cue sheets with LMS - as far as I can make out it gains nothing and actually makes things more difficult.
EDIT. I accept that there are some that use the same files with other software but with LMS alone .....?Usually running latest beta LMS nightly on Raspberry Pi OS with virtual players. Occasionally using SB Radio, Boom or Classic.Comment

It doesn't translate to a tag. What is important is how the scanner treats it - it definitely creates it as a contributor if performer is at track level but how a performer at top level is treated and whether it assigns the correct role number is the question.Jim

That explanation makes perfect sense, and was how I assumed things were working. But evidently that's not how they're working, at least in the case of cue sheets. From the Hydrogenaudio quote above and also the way the XLD ripper works, a PERFORMER tag that appears before any of the individual tracks should be the 'CD Artist', or the Album Artist if you like.
A couple of examples:
Code:TITLE "My Test Album" FILE "My Test Album.flac" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "Track Title 1" PERFORMER "Track Artist 1" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "Track Title 2" PERFORMER "Track Artist 2" INDEX 00 02:23:13 INDEX 01 02:24:63
Next example:
Code:TITLE "My Test Album" PERFORMER "Album Artist" FILE "My Test Album.flac" WAVE TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "Track Title 1" PERFORMER "Track Artist 1" INDEX 01 00:00:00 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "Track Title 2" PERFORMER "Track Artist 2" INDEX 00 02:23:13 INDEX 01 02:24:63

Some of us have attempted to use cue files to create virtual albums from box set collections. For instance, a Mosaic Records box set might contain all of Miles Davis's recordings from the mid-1960s. The goal is to have access to the box set, and to the albums that were originally released containing the same tracks. Success has been mixed.Home: Pi4B-8GB/pCP8.2.x/4TB>LMS 8.5.x>Transporter, Touch, Boom, Radio (all ethernet)

In the above example I have two separate Track Artists and no Album Artist. When LMS scans this, both Track Artist 1 and Track Artist 2 appear as Album Artists (and also as Artists, naturally). This contradicts the first criterion above, because there is no 'sole artist'.
LMS sees an album with no album artist and different artists per track as a compilation.Jim

Either
I might have 2 lots of FLACs - one set tagged as the Box Set and the other set as the individual albums
OR
If the box set contains the original albums plus a few extras I might split into individual albums and just put the extras under the Box set
Album is one of the tags that can't have multi valuesJim
