      S

      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.

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.

      If anyone using Libre.fm previously is also scrobbling to Last.fm, we can now pull in your scrobbles from there.

      Just email support with your Last.fm username and I'll get you set up.

      It's pretty much how you explain it, it's up to you how long you subscribe or how often you want to pay for a release.

      It's not normal, try setting the notifications to disabled under Tools / Settings / notifications, in case the native desktop notifications triggers system sounds.

      Did you try to pass CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the directory where KDSingleApplication-qt6Config.cmake is located like the message suggests?

      @mike_jones not sure how you can call it a bargain. If you actually pay to keep the player updated on windows or mac it might be the most expensive consumer media player on market at $60/yr and @jonas doesn't event take feature requests.

      I like the player a lot but the pricing is wild.

      It's a known bug with FLAC, there is a workaround for it: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1422
      But it should only affect FLAC.
