  I am new to Strawberry Music Player, which I have installed on a PC running Windows 10, and I need help with playlists. Previously I used Foobar2000 but it has become ridiculously complex to configure to meet my needs.

  My music collection is almost entirely classical and opera, and I have little interest in albums. I want to create playlists that focus on composers, performers, genres etc. Unlike Foobar2000, in Strawberry I was easily able to create a nested playlist tree structure that reflected my needs, and I assigned music tracks to these playlists (FLAC 2.0 and 5.1).

  The problem is that when I closed Strawberry and reopened it later, the nested playlists I had created did not reappear and I cannot find a way of recovering them. I would like the playlists to load automatically when I start Strawberry. Can anyone help?

  I think there should be a tab where the translation of the lyrics can be inserted. I would like to be able to consult both the original lyrics and the translation. It doesn't seem very difficult to implement. There is already a way to manually add the lyrics of the song, just add the same thing but to add a translation so that this translation can be accessible from the panel on the left. I made a montage to show what it could look like:

  Hi,

  I'm a maintainer of the projectM visualizer library. We've been working on making projectM better in many ways over the past two years or so, and finally released a new major version (4.0) back in April '23. This new version fixed a few bugs and improved the rendering quality, but was mainly focused on rewriting the build system (now only using CMake) and creating a proper API. libprojectM now supports building as a shared library on all platforms, and has a stable and clean C API instead of requiring direct access to the internal C++ code, which was a big issue for devs in all previous releases.

  Clementine used a forked copy of a very old projectM version, which was never updated and had numerous bugs and performance issues, so removing it from Strawberry was surely a good thing. Yet I think many users would like to have a visualizer again, and with the upcoming 4.1 release projectM will be (mostly) compatible with the latest Milkdrop release, support previously unimplemented preset features like loops and megabuf.

  The API won't change between 4.0 and 4.1, so if anyone has time to integrate it into Strawberry, you may start right away. If there are any questions, head over to our Discord or post in our GitHub discussion board, I'll be notified there. I try to check this forum from time to time, but expect longer delays here.

  @cookie A bit of a threadcromancy but I also ran into some issues there and made the account to suggest fixes

  Double vs single quotes got me but also after importing, loads of my playlists were empty. This is because not all of my stuff is within the Library DB. So on the statement where you're adding to the playlist_items table, there are two considerations:

  As OP made a case, the filename column in Clementine is NULL for Library type entries, and you need to insert '' instead.

  ADDITIONALLY, you DO want to insert also where type = 'File'.

  I'm bad with SQL so i just ran the thing twice instead of looking up how to inline OR, but yeah, this needs to get fixed in the wiki too

  @jonas
  I suggest an update to the wiki with an extra step.
  https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/How_to_translate
  Maybe should read

  Sign up .... Join relevant language team(s) Start translating .....

  Thanks, the wiki is updated.
  Since I was the one that registered the project I didn't have to join a language team.
