Hi Christopher,

i had the same issue and did a report at 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186864

my idea was to add a additional layout part for compilation tracks so one is 
not limited to the "track-artist-title" token.
What should be considered is the upcoming sorting in the playlist where it 
might be better to have seperate tokens for track, artist, title. i also 
hacked the same kind of token for me and i'm uncertain what is the better 
solution in the long run. 

Nikolaj: already any ideas on this?
