FLAC --> Nero AAC With Foobar

Hey, guys.  I'm kinda new to Foobar but am learning more and more with each new release.  I have an encoding question for you.  I'm trying to encode my FLAC files to Nero AAC via Foobar and Nero's command line encoder.  What do I write in the "Output File Names / Single tracks:" section of the converter so that albums with various artists get saved into a Various Artists folder?

I currently use %artist%\%album%\%_filename%.  What do I include so that it properly encodes compilations/soundtracks from various artists?  Do I include %various artists% in place of %artist% or do I include a different string? 

Any suggestions of what works for you guys would be great!

%album artist% is the string you're looking for, where it is the 'artist' constant for the whole album, while %artist% varies for each track. Correct me if I am wrong, I don't have any VA junk in my library.

Thanks, David.  You mean you don't have any music with various artists or do you encode various artists a different way?
