6 Answers
Is there an online index/catalogue of these anywhere? If I wanted to find out if a particular song were on a compilation album anywhere, how would I go about it?

One of the things I'm going to do when I have the opportunity to be dictator of the entire world is to ban any album being entitled "The best of...." or "The very best of...."
If you put those opening words into a search engine you will probably pull out 90% of all compilation albums of single artists (especially if they have had a longish career).
The other option is to feed in "Various artists"
www.gracenote.com lists 293000 (ish) compilation albums just type various in the artist box.
Will take you a while to read through them all though!
