HowTo?: VA albums as artist "Various Artist" in library

Hi, I have Foobar with FOFR installed.
I found that either VA or OST in music folder name changes album appearance in the way seen on my picture left - i.e. no artist in header, but part of song description.
Further, because of iPod, I tag such "compilation" albums with additional tag Album Artist "Various Artists" and - by virtue of iPod Manager Plugin, this helps me keep such albums together in iPod. So far good.

Now my question. With albums tagged like this, I have a problem that each song artist from such compilations appears as extra artist in my music library (red part of my picture below). Instead of this, I would like to have all VA and OST albums under artist "Various Artists". How can I set this in Foobar?

Please advise. Thanks in advance.
