== Compolation Albums ==

The compilation album at the top of the list... Maybe that belongs in a new table of compilations.

Reasoning:

1. Compilations are one way for a new listener to access several audio samples from different artists quickly, so it'd be nice to have those listed at the top.

2. There are at least four compilations I'm aware of: Microtonal Freedom (a Compilation Benefit Album For Lyn Ulbricht) (2019), Next Xen (2016), Crack My Pitch Up (2010), and A Microtonal Music Experience (1998).

3. If added to the artist list, those might make things a bit messy. Maybe not. I guess it depends on how many end up being added.

But, that might also open the door up to a few other things that could mess things up a little:

1. What about compilations containing xen and non-xen music? I think that having non-xen compilations would defeat the purpose of having such a list, which is to allow newcomers to access a bunch of xen music quickly.

2. How many different artists constitutes a "compilation album?" If I recorded three of my own songs and had another artist record three songs, and then threw them all together, is that a compilation?
