I have enabled that logging. This is the output. Is there a way I can trigger strawberry to look for devices to mount? I've notice there is a console option under tools.
The volume name on the device I'm testing with is 16GB, it is a FAT32 formatted USB flash drive.

Unfortunately when launched from the terminal strawberry outputs nothing. Is there a flag I can launch it with to output something that could help show what is going wrong?

I've tried multiple formats, NTFS, FAT32, and none of them show up. All of the discs work fine as I can manually copy files to and from them.

Syncing music to a device is the main reason I use strawberry as was the main reason I used clementine. Whatever isn't working also effects clementine.

It would be nice to also have some way of refreshing the devices tab instead of quitting and starting strawberry every time to check.

For more information, these USB devices are being mounted in the normal expected directory of /run/media/user/Music

Strawberry 1.2.16 cannot see USB devices to sync a playlist to. This worked in Fedora 42.
The device is one I have always used when syncing, it is remembered by Strawberry, a FAT32 formatted 256GB USB flash drive.

Had another instance of this happen today. This bug is very annoying. Just revert back to the old behaviour of listening to the correct tag.

@jonas
I have already gone through my library and removed all entries in the "Album Artist Sort" tag using a tagging tool to mass delete these entries.
The behaviour I saw was if there was an entry in the "Album Artist Sort" tag that did not agree with the "Album Artist" tag, the Sort tag was given priority when sorting the tracks. On my playlist I use the Album Artist tag to sort and do not have the Album Artist Sort tag displayed.

As for the second issue; https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/topic/1431/album-synced-to-various-artists-folder-incorrectly

What was found in that issue strawberry was taking into account tracks that were not on the playlist when copying tracks over.

I use the "Album Artist" tag as one of the main ways I sort my play lists. I have noticed strawberry 1.2.14 now ignores the actual "Album Artist" tag and instead uses the "Album Artist Sort" tag.

This means I now have to go through my entire music collection and clear out all the "sort" tags. God only knows how this will screw up syncing albums to devices which strawberry has continually screwed up since it was forked from Clementine.

@trincowski I'll correct it. This seems like a bug with strawberry since it is considering things it should not be. I would really like if it only obeyed the sync options used.

@trincowski I don't use that service. I've zipped and uploaded them to a service that will auto delete the file in three days. Tracks 10 and up are live tracks and I don't sync them. I only fixed tested tracks 1-9 of this album.

@trincowski
I tried fixing any tracks I found double entries for and synced again. However strawberry still incorrectly places the tracks in the Various Artists folder.

Since this is no longer free open source software, how do I disable the check for updates in the settings?
If it cannot be disable, what is the FQDN used to check for updates? I'll blackhole the FQDN so I no longer have to see the notification every time a new version is released.

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.
