@Sharky-PI adding info to this thread: searching the collection by
genre:microhouse
does find the example track, as does searching by
genre:clownpenis
So manual search works for semicolon-separated-subgenres, just not the GUI dropdown system.

I see this feature has been (re)implemented in Release 1.2.12. The Settings --> Collection menu now has an item to skip leading articles when sorting albums.
Thank you!!!

@Bubba_John We have something similar with the Replay Gain function, in mode Album (ideal loudness for all tracks).

Hello,
I am a new user of Linux Ubuntu AND your great Stawberry application. I did the last update. I was a windows user, and used foobar in the past to manage my music, library and play.
If I can play dsf files, have it available in the library is still not possible (?). Is it somehow planed to add it ?
Thanks in advance for your answer
Cheers

Idk why I haven't made it a single table and I can't edit the post anymore, so here it is in an easier to understand way:

Just looking at one of my FLAC files and its metadata, tagged by SongKong (pulling from MusicBrainz), I see the following pertaining to dates:

<ORIGINAL_YEAR>1976</ORIGINAL_YEAR>
<ALBUM_YEAR>1997</ALBUM_YEAR>
<ORIGINALRELEASEDATE>1997</ORIGINALRELEASEDATE>
<Recorded_Date>1997</Recorded_Date>

@sissou To do just that, I wrote a simple script:

For sure, it is not an optimal solution, but it works fine for me for a couple of weeks now.
