Great ludoviko azuaje! Thank you for putting your interest in to this
Here you can download the source code:

There is an option in Super Analyzer to "Analys Playlist" which means I can somehow send you an exported playlist (it's only a *xml-file, without the musicfiles) which you can try to analyse.
I found this bit of code and the text in green does not seem to work on my iTunes:
As I understand it Superanalyzer should use "Artist" instead of "Albumartist" if the album is a compilation but it does not work for me..
does this "if (track.getAlbumArtist() != null " mean that Albumartist has to be nothing if it is a compilation?
