This issue is still occuring on 1.2.11 and is getting worse.

This issue is still occuring on 1.2.10.

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.

As of version 1.2.3, this issue still occurs.

@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

@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.

1.1.3 has the issue as well.

As of 1.1.2 this problem is still occuring.

@Dryst You can still obtain the 1.0.23 version from achive sites and use that. That was released for free and will let you test the software. Then you can decide if that version is good enough and stay there forever like I am on the windows boxes I have or you can decide to pay money for a music app. I backed up this version myself since it works well enough for my needs on the only windows boxes I use.

@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?
