      ^^^ Don't do this... I thought it would give exclusive access when Strawberry is open but it genuinely blocks all access to the audio device for other programs. I think I will just stick with shared mode.

      Right-click the track, select "Edit track information...", and select the Lyrics tab in the new dialog. Paste your lyrics into the text box, and click "Save".

      Re lyrics sources, select the "Tools" main menu item, and select "Settings...". In the dialog box, select the "Lyrics" option (under "General". There you can see all of the lyrics providers available to Strawberry. Select as many as you like! Or maybe just try one at a time until you get the desired lyrics.

      If none of the above helps, click on the "Search" icon (magnifying glass), top right-hand side of this forum, and enter "lyrics" - you'll get a list of queries forum members have re lyrics - maybe one of those will help you.

      I find that the best way to handle this is to use the "Album Artist" tag.

      For albums that don't have the exact same artist name for every song, (but are not "Various Artists" compilation albums) put the name of the primary artist there.

      Then, in the "Group By" setting, select one of the options that sorts by "Album Artist". It seems that with this configuration, albums that don't have an "Album Artist" entry will still be sorted by "Artist".

      While one could use the "Album Artist" tag for all albums, I only use it for exceptions, like the example given in the original post.

      Side Note (regarding compilations, aka "Various Artists":

      For compilations, while some prefer to use "Various Artists" as the "Album Artist" entry, I prefer to check the "Compilation" checkbox instead, and leave "Album Artist" blank. Strawberry honors that tag, and will create a "Various Artists" heading in the library.

      This is a hold-over from my years of experience with iTunes, which uses that "Compilation" tag. This may not be a universal solution, but in Strawberry, at least, it works for me.

      Hello, same here. I am a Tidal subscriber, I created my app on the developer portal. I set all the scopes for my application and set web platform. I copy and paste my client id into Strawberry, then I click on Login button, but the opened tidal page has error always. It seems the URL coming from Strawberry is not correct. Please help.
