@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?

RE: Stuck after a track is finished
@Jellby I've noticed it happening more recently. I have it happening despite not pausing the tracks. I have to kill the process since it just locks up when I try to change tracks manually once it's stuck on buffering. I wonder if it's trying to access gstreamer. I have my set to use wrapper audio sink since that is what it was default and it has always worked before.

RE: 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.

RE: Stuck after a track is finished
@Jellby The tracks are on a USB drive that is mounted at boot. It is treated as a normal HDD compared to a USB drive that gets plugged in later and mounted in /media. I notice it most often when strawberry stops playing music. I don't often pause/unpause my music so I don't know if that is involved.

I also have this problem. It is inconsistent on when it's going to happen. I'm on Version 1.0.23 on Fedora 39 KDE. While it's stuck on buffering I can interact with the window, however if I try to manually play the next track strawberry freezes.

@CharAznableLoNZ Unfortunately after syncing, Strawberry is still putting albums into Various Artists that do not have Compilation box checked.

@econnolly It was checked. Going to disable that on every track in my library. That's highly annoying since there is no mention in the sync settings about that checkbox. Maybe a tweak could be made to ignore the compilation checkbox during sync.

RE: Album Synced to Various Artists Folder Incorrectly.
Had another example today. Of the twelve albums of Toho Bossa Nova, the twelfth one was sent to various artists on sync instead of the correct folder the other eleven were. All albums have the same Album Artist Entry. Further I went and investigated the various artists folder and found several more examples.
Is there a way to disable this behavior entirely? I want it to follow my sync options and nothing else. -

@jonas
In this case it is a FiiO X1, however Strawberry treats it like a USB drive. I see the same behavior on the USB drive I plug into my truck as well. I believe both are formatted as FAT32 since that is what both players prefer.
For this album, I guess I fixed this album by doing some minor corrections to the tags. However I did not touch the Album Artist tags as that was already populated as the same for all tracks on the album. I still see it on other albums.
I mostly want to figure out what triggers this and if there is a way to force strawberry to ignore this behavior and just follow the sync Naming Options. -
Album Synced to Various Artists Folder Incorrectly.
I have multiple albums that have more than one artist listed. However I am using the Album Artist tag to be sure that albums with multiple artists do not get split up on sync. This works quite well.
I have a few albums that I've found when synced to a USB device will get put into the various artists instead of under the correct album artists folder. Under the collection tab they are grouped correctly.What causes this sync behavior, is there a way to disable this redirection to the Various Artists folder?
Below is the album, Mirror, that is exhibiting this behavior.
My sync Naming Options are;
%albumartist/%album/%track %title.%extension
