Wanted to follow up on this. Since .nomedia support was removed in 1.0.2, is there any way at all to directories within my main music folder from being catalogued by Strawberry?

bump, album artist is something I really can't give up on, hope it gets fixed/implemented soon

+1 to this feature request.

+1 to this. How do feature requests get prioritized?

Also add support for www.allmusic.com? It could be within Wikipedia and Discogs, you could see information about the playing album or the song from one of these websites.

I guess this is the same: https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/topic/776/prevent-automatic-collection-update

@robertklsz Sounds like a good idea to me.

@rlkeeney You can backup based on checksums or other attributes aside from modification time. Or use a filesystem like ZFS that allows snapshot-based backups, which makes the whole thing irrelevant.

But regardless, this is why I asked for an option to preserve modification time, not making it the default / sole behavior. I'm sure there are a lot of users that prefer the behavior as-is, or have workflows based around the current behavior like you described. But having an option to preserve timestamps for those of us that prefer that behavior would be appreciated.
