      In case you didn't read the tooltip of Settings / Collection / Preferred album art filenames (comma separated), it says:

      When looking for album art, Strawberry will first look for picture files that contain one of this words. If there are no matches then it will use the largest image in the directory.

      It's more than enough for me, because I use subdirectories for artwork, and there's only a front cover image with the audio files. My list of words is front,cover.

      There is no Strawberry option "Only use pictures containing this words", so I'd suggest a workaround when some albums don't have a proper front cover and you don't want Strawberry to display the biggest image:

      You might add something like def_image to the list of preferred names (for example, per your preferences, file,Front,cover,folder,def_image), and copy the default CD image from github (or create a custom one) to the album folder as def_image.jpg.

      A bit of command line magic will copy that file to every album directory that needs it. Or you may go nuclear and copy it to every album folder, to test and delete easily all of them if needed.

      @cdhacker
      This seem to have to do with the client ID which the tidalapi script uses, and quality set to "HI_RES_LOSSLESS" and stream URL method set to "playbackinfopostpaywall".

      HI_RES_LOSSLESS was missing for quality, added now.

      I'm able to stream with some albums with 96/24 and some with 192/24 without any other modifications to the authentication code.

      It's hard to say for sure, can you open one of XSPF files in a plain text editor such as notepad and see how they look, if you can paste the contents here I can have a look.

      It looks like the path is cut short. Maybe it has to do with some special characters in the path, or the length of the path.
      Can you copy and paste the entire path here, right click on the affected song in the playlist and select "Copy URL(s)...", then use CTRL + V to paste the URL here.

      I completely agree! "Beats-per-minute" is a crucial filter tag, especially for projects or discussions involving audio processing, heart rate monitoring, or tempo adjustments. It helps categorize and streamline the search for relevant content, making it easier for others to find and contribute to related topics. Adding this tag would definitely enhance organization and accessibility.

      I Just tested adding a SMB drive on macOS 15.1.1 Sequoia, and it works fine here.

      Make sure Network volumes is added for Strawberry under Security / Files & Folders

      @synth_mania

      I agree, your expected behavior would be the perfect way. But since this is an operation that's not a day-to-day thing, how about a kludgy workaround? Organize your songs alphabetically, and transfer in several smaller batches, based on letters of the alphabet, e.g., A-F, etc.

      @leo
      Can you try the latest (currently 1.2.3-43) from https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/debian/trixie/ and see if it fixes this crash.

      Nevermind, I'm a complete idiot and i forgot that's the album I duplicated to test TakeFive's suggestion.

      I'm just a dork.

      Thanks again everyone for your time and help.

      @James Happy Days! The update I just got today fixed the problem. Sort by artist now displays all the songs in alphabetical order which is PERFECT.
      Thanks again for all your work !!
