Would be great if this could happen in AS as well.
AS doesn't read any of the tags on the files at all. When a song starts AS asks Kodi what is playing and then figures out the artwork it needs to show. If Kodi actually says the artist is "Various Artists," then AS will show the Various Artists images from fanart.tv (assuming you have the fanart.tv download enabled). If Kodi says that the song has multiple artists (which is different from various artists), then AS will attempt to find, download, and display artwork for every one of the artists.
If you have things you think should be showing the Various Artists images that don't, please enable debug logging for AS (in the AS settings) as well as Kodi and then post a link to the log.
