@jonas Wow, thank you :). Will do so for sure.

@jonas
No logs were created when closed.... and now it works just fine.
I don't get it. For weeks this has had an issue, then you reply to my post and then it magically works.

Thank you for your help.

@jonas Ah. Had no idea. I used it a lot in iTunes. I thought it was a standard tag. Thanks!

@jonas Gotcha. Thanks for the update.

@jonas Will do! (but at moment the bug isn't re-appearing)

@PeterB
OMGZ Thank You!
I registered just to send my appreciation and my eyes are in your debt!

@jonas In that case, I'm looking forward to future updates 😃

Otherwise, current implementation is pretty good. Changes I make to the tag update in Strawberry immediately 👍

Though I noticed some inconsistencies in sorting by Original year.

@nyuwa
Strawberry supports saving playlists with relative paths,
Go to Tools / Settings / Playlist and select "Relative" or "Ask when saving" under "When saving a playlist, file paths should be".
When you save the playlist in d:\music, the paths should then point to directories / files without d:\music.
This way you can copy the playlist files over on the other computer to the same music directory on a different drive.
Another option is to simply edit the playlist file in a text editor and do a find/replace of d:\ with e:\

@jonas Alright, thanks a lot. If I ever get to update/fix it, I'll open up a PR in that repo 👍

@silver-sun That is smart! Solved my question. Thank you!

@ben2talk well, Cantarell regular is pretty legible, but i've got you point. It has to be implemented in the player itself, but currently it don't.
Breaking all of the system look is not an option.

@ben2talk Thanks, I'll give that one a shot. MusicBee and MediaMonkey are pretty good too.

@HipwellGA said in Playlists not loading on startup:

I am new to Strawberry Music Player, which I have installed on a PC running Windows 10, and I need help with playlists. Previously I used Foobar2000 but it has become ridiculously complex to configure to meet my needs.

My music collection is almost entirely classical and opera, and I have little interest in albums. I want to create playlists that focus on composers, performers, genres etc. Unlike fethiye Foobar2000, in Strawberry I was easily able to create a nested playlist tree structure that reflected my needs, and I assigned music tracks to these playlists (FLAC 2.0 and 5.1).

The problem is that when I closed Strawberry and reopened it later, the nested playlists I had created did not reappear and I cannot find a way of recovering them. I would like the playlists to load automatically when I start Strawberry. Can anyone help?

Thanks for information

@aap Thanks aap. It's terrible to say, but I feel better knowing I wasn't the only one with the problem. 😉

I break too many things doing something boneheaded, so the possibility it was something I did was in the back of my mind.

@rlkeeney I don’t see how that may help. 🤔

@rajm It also happened to me some time ago. I recreated them looking at the conditions used here:

Cheers.

@jonas udisksctl dump as user works fine

It might be worth observing that where the embedded image is smaller, Strawberry seems to display a background image that is restricted by the size of the embedded image - but it isn't the embedded image, it's the Strawberry-backround-image version with lots of pixelation.

@PeterB
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE 6) seems to do the trick. That version of Linux Mint actually has qt6ct in the software channel, although an older version, 0.7-3. I installed your newer version, 0.9-2, and it seems to work fine for the most part.

Interestingly, it would not allow me to set the font as Ubuntu Regular; instead insisting on Ubuntu Light Italic. It allowed me to use Noto Sans, which is close enough. But any insight on that font issue would be appreciated.

Thanks again for helping me out with this!
