Album Synced to Various Artists Folder Incorrectly.
-
@econnolly My understanding is that only changes how the library displays songs. I'll try it next time I sync a device. My issue is when I sync a playlist, some tracks will be placed in Various Artists. These tracks are listed under the correct artist in the library and my sync options uses Album Artist instead of just Artist during sync.
-
@CharAznableLoNZ I synced trying the setting suggested however strawberry still incorrectly puts albums into the various artists folder.
Is there any way to disable this functionality entirely? -
As of 1.1.2 this problem is still occuring.
-
1.1.3 has the issue as well.

1.1.3 has the issue as well.
Can you open the folder with Kid3 and check if the Album-Artist is really the same in all tag versions? Or if there's a iTunes Compilation tag set in any of the files?
-
@trincowski Never used kid3, however it does look like they are all the same. I manage the track information from strawberry. Tag 1 is empty, I don't see a compilation checkbox in kid3. Strawberry reports it is not a compilation.
My main request is to disable the Various Artists Folder behavior entirely. I don't want to have to troubleshoot every album that could have this happen for the rest of time.
-
You can turn off the feature in Settings / Collection / "Use various artists for compilation albums"
-
@jonas It appears the setting you mentioned which I have disabled only applies to the library. The problem is with Strawberry placing albums into a Various Artists folder to a synced device. The only album that should be here is the first one, the rest are placed incorrectly.
I would like if Strawberry could strictly follow the Naming Options on the sync settings page when syncing songs. Anything else should be ignored.
My sync Naming Options are;
%albumartist/%album/%track %title.%extension
-
As of version 1.2.3, this issue still occurs.
-
As of 1.2.7 this issue still occurs. This issue is with how Strawberry does not follow the sync options. I want to disable this behavior entirely for the sync function. This is not related to how it is displayed in the Strawberry Library. These songs do not have the compilation box checked.
The sync options being used.
This is what strawberry claims will be placed in Various Artists.
This is what it actually places in Various Artists on sync.
