The relevant code is
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.mythtv.org/trac/browser/mythtv/mythplugins/mythmusic/mythmusic/metaioid3.cpp">http://code.mythtv.org/trac/browser/mythtv/mythplugins/mythmusic/mythmusic/metaioid3.cpp</a>
line 311.
Myth only recognises compilations from as defined by Musicbrainz. I'm
not familiar with it myself but it appears to insert custom tag fields
rather than use the 'standard' ones, for some reason.
So your easiest option is probably to re-tag your music using
Musicbrainz. Alternatively you could investigate the Musicbrainz
tagging conventions (ie. use Musicbrainz on a test compilation and
inspect the resulting tags) & replicate that in your library. The
special compilation code is 89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377
apparently.

OK, the code says
// If the MusicBrainz ID is the special "Various Artists" ID
// then compilation is TRUE
I don't see a tag "MusicBrainz ID"
so I set tag "musicbrainz_albumartistid" to
" Various Artists"
and still Mythmusic does not recognize compilation.
Maybe you want to try out Picard. It's available for all platforms and
IMO the best tagger out there.

Thanks. I am using MusicBrainz Picard. <br>
<br>
I have set tag "musicbrainz_albumartistid" =
"89ad4ac3-39f7-470e-963a-56509c546377"<br>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px;
margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">I found
that tag in some Various Artists compilations I had brought in
from CD.<br>
</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px;
margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;"><br>
Mythmusic still does not recognize the .mp3 with above tag as
compilation.<br>
