Hello Gustavo & Jonas,
Thank you for looking at this problem.
This is not a major bug preventing me from using Strawberry, but just annoying.
I know how to get round the problem but I am not sure my sister or some of my friends would.
This could deter them from using it.
Thanks Gustavo for replying, but I am surprised it looks so complicated to see if a folder is available.
The source folder must be stored somewhere as it can be scanned for changes at start.
This my Library backup script in Unix:
source="/media/Jean-Luc/JukeBox Master"
test -d "$source"
retval="$?"
if [ "$retval" -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Dossier '$source' non trouvé" (not found)
exit 1
fi
I check that it is connected before doing anything.
Surely the same logic can be applied to Strawberry, even in Windows.

I have my library on an external SSD.
If I forget to connect it before starting Strawberry, my library is cleared (I have update library at start).
I have to do full a full rescan.
An error message should warn that the specified location is not found and either exit or retry.
Thanks
PS: I already posted this elsewhere but got no useful reply
OK, but I still consider this as a bug!
It should warn that the disk is not connected rather than erasing everything.
That would be easy to do.
If you have a large library, it will take a long time to rebuild.

PS: I would like a 'lite' version as there are too many options for non technical people
I am new to this forum.
First thank you to the developers for providing such a nice, full featured package.
Now if I registered here, it's because I have an issue.
Sorry if this has been covered already.
I am listening to brazilian (and other latin) music and artist names can contain accents. I can end up with several entries for the same artist (Joao Gilberto, João Gilberto).
My suggestion is to have the possibility (tick box) to store the artist name in the database in pure ascii, but leaving the metadata unchanged in the file for correct display.
Any thoughts?
