This setting has never been about "compilations". That term in itself is kind of imprecise, as a release treated in Kodi as a "compilation" may or may not be a grouping of previous recordings from different recording artists. At any rate "compilation artist" means a song artist (could be a featured artist) who is not also credited as the release (album) artist. Typically, but not always, this is because the release (album) artist is credited to "Various Artists".
In Kodi 17, there is a new music "roles" node in the library, which allows more granular control over what artists are listed in the music view (compared to the existing/previous "artists" node).
