And I can confirm that if I play an album which is tagged as "Various Artists" only, then I still just get a blank / black box.
I see the issue. AS caches even a null response from MusicBrainz and won't check again for a few weeks. So until your current empty Various Artists MBID ages out, AS won't try and use the hard coded MBID. The way to resolve that is to find the Various Artists cache folder and delete it. Either that or just wait a couple weeks.

I don't really keep up with the Last.fm stuff, and it seems like there have been a number of changes that are causing issues. I'll start taking a look at at options there are to make the Last.fm stuff work again, but if I have to pay for API access I'll probably just drop Last.fm support all together and rely on theaudiodb.com for that information. The only thing last.fm provides that theaudiodb.com doesn't is related artists.
