Does this mean that we no longer have the ability to choose to designate MC's "Album Artist (auto)" field as the field to be transferred to the Zen's "Artist" field? I really really liked that (keeps one-track artists off of the Zen's artist list).
SteveG:
Everyone,
The fix regarding the playlists is now available as Plugin 9.0.43.
Nolonemo,
Yes. This change was a sacrifice that was made to make the overall synchronization much more intelligent and efficient.

Steve, IMO, that is a move in the wrong direction. Since I have a lot of compilations, if I update the plugin, I will end up with an artist list that is easily twice, if not three times the present length. Since I have a 60GB jukebox, that effectively means that scrolling through artists becomes unworkable.
I suppost I could create a custom field (eg, "artists"), copy all the "artist" fields to "artists" and then copy all the "album artist (auto)" to "artist" as a workaround. But that's a kludge compared to the elegant way MC handled the issue before.
In fact, I had hoped that you would add an option to add more flexibility to how fields are transferred from MC9 to the Zen, including the ability to concatenate fields. For example, because of the Zen's browsing structure, I use the naming scheme "artist - album" for the [album] field so that albums within a genre will cluster by artists and so that I can identify the "greatest hits" albums. To be able to see just the album title in MC's library veiw, I created a custom [albums] field that I copy the [album] contents to. Then I rename the [album] filed from my PC's directory structure which takes the form of "artist - album". MC is set up to display the [albums] field in library view, not [album]. But it would be much nicer if i could just set the Zen transfer album field to "[artist] - [album]" for transfers.
Anyway, I hope you will restore the option to the plugin. Fortunately I still have the old version of the plugin on my machine.
