It...it shouldn't have different artists? Why is it called a compilation??
That folder was probably created by iTunes at some point, since I think that's where it puts any song that has the "this album is a compilation" box checked (which it probably translates to some ID3 tag, I haven't poked at how it stores music metadata in the tracks lately). Given the, um, uneven quality of data in the Gracenote database usually used for CD track names and the even more uneven quality of it in random MP3 files on the Internet...who knows why those tracks got marked that way? I guarantee there are plenty of albums in my Compilations folder that shouldn't be there no matter how hard I've tried to be diligent about metadata.
