@Steadily8696 what is your cpu/ram and os ?(curiosity)
maybe there is some settings u can do to lower the load if in few months and more music if its too slow again.
but did it occur that it didnt open allready ?

The queue(s) should be accessible via the sidebar on the left. I actually use the "icons on top" view instead of the sidebar (right click for options) but same principle.

And of course you can prove this statement?!

You need to report this to flatpak https://github.com/flathub/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry

@hehemrin
Fixed now

@biffster I have had the same experience.

@rlkeeney I'm talking about a forward slash (/) not a backslash (\), like in Lionel Hampton's "Golden Vibes / Silver Vibes". It's probably the same issue with artist names with slashes in them, like AC/DC (which I don't play).

The problem is that I don't try to create the file, Strawberry does when it downloads a cover and tries to save it in the music folder.

I have set Strawberry to "Save album covers in album directory" with the default pattern %albumartist-%album -- which doesn't work when there's a slash in the album name. Then it just throws up an error message saying something to the effect that the image can't be stored.

This is clearly a bug, and it should be easy to remedy by replacing the slash with another character, like an underscore, before saving.

@timlance
Seconded. Airplay audio output managed from within the app would be an awesome addition.

@rlkeeney

I restored from a backup done on 31 December 2021.

It looks good so far. I only lost around 150 ratings.

One thing I never liked about storing data in the files was how long it took to run a backup every file I listened to was changed and got backed up. So I'm going to do the fingerprinting run a backup and see how that goes.

@twist I second your words! I am brand-new to Strawberry, a reformed Clementine survivor, and Strawberry was already audio app #1 in my book these past several days. Now it is officially version #1 too, hurrah!
