I find it a little troubling that you mention maintaining a list of usernames and passwords. You’re not actually storing anyone’s passwords, are you? This doesn’t sound secure.

Another super happy user here, taking advantage these days of "Song fingerprinting and tracking"; and remembering the days when that feature didn't exist and how the internal playlists got ruined after renaming files or directories. This is so good... Thank you!

Long live Strawberry!

That seems wrong, I'll fix it now.

@jonas User name is mrrjhrpc@gmail.com.

@econnolly That helped. I was fighting with all the "!=" and the suggestions in the pop-up tip, but actually they don't always work. e.g. "year:!=2" didnt work to filter out year 2xxx where "year:-2" does. I hadn't even thought to use the "-" minus sign, but it turns out to be far superior. Also the $ does nothing as far as I can tell there are no wild cards.

"genre:rock -hard -indie -pop -art comment:-amazon year:-20"

basically gives me all the "rock" genre with any "hard rock", "indie rock", "pop rock", and "art rock" filtered out, while also filtering out anything with "amazon" in the comment and sticking to 19xx for the year.

@jonas Yes I use the last played time (oldest first), fwiw the actual search criteria is here https://imgur.com/a/M5AbzAR (far too complicated!) as I wrote when it skips in the albums I'm thinking of all the tracks satisfy those criteria and on the next edit page are shown sequentially just when they appear on the playlist due to dynamic mode being set, some tracks get skipped.

This drives me crazy. There are solutions to this. Why hasn't anyone contacted this guy? I can use the Qobuz tokens his program generates, but the Tidal ones don't work; however, he may be able provide guidance on that.

@CherryStraw thanks.

@WoodrowShigeru You might want to consider a field that supports a date, such as ContentCreateDate, to hold that information. I don't believe Strawberry displays it though.

@OriNOVet Aha, they can be tricky.

Search terms 'Last Played' I set this to 'not in the last year' and after >Next 'Sort songs by Last Played oldest first', only showing the first 20, and dynamic playback enabled.

@AntEater and @timlance I came across this topic searching for how to output audio to AirPlay (or even anything but the internal speakers on my MacBookAir) and I finally figured it out and am posting my findings here for anyone else who might search and find this topic:

Preferences/
Backend/
Under "Audio Output":
Output: "Output to a sound card on MacOS"
Device: "Automatically select"

Of course, you can select any of the available devices under the "Device:" menu, but the "Automatically select" option appears to follow what output option (including AirPlay speakers) I have currently selected under my "Sound" menu options on the menu bar.

Note - any changes in preferences didn't go into effect until I stopped and started whatever I was listening to.

Great job developers!!
