Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

From what I can see Album and Track naming settings are universal across the board. There are options for single and multi-media naming schemes.

What I would like to see is a naming scheme dedicated to "Various Artists" in settings IE (with the artist folders option checked):

Single Media Format:

{Album Title}/{track:00} - {Track Title} -> Deftones\Diamond Eyes\01 - Genisis.flac

Multi Disc Format:

{Album Title}/Disc {medium:00}/{track:00} - {Track Title} -> Deftones\Diamond Eyes (Deluxe Edition)\Disc 01\01 - Genisis.flac

Various Artist Format

{Album Title}/{track:00} - {Track ArtistName} - {Track Title} -> Various Artists\Diamond Eyes\01 - Deftones - Genisis.flac

Describe the solution you'd like

I was going to attempt to implement this by creating two additional naming format fields for "Various Artists". It appears that all the tokens exist.

Is this a feature that would be desired? Otherwise I won't work on it... and more likely this is above my coding skills.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Deal with it and not have the track artist name in the filename of my Various Artists albums.

Anything else?

Not that I'm aware of.

Just popping in to say that this would indeed be very useful for me..

I have MB Picard setup to have different naming options for compilations and keep running in to this in Lidarr, where I have to run MB Picard in parallel..
