@itunes-refuge I actually found a workaround for this a while back, which I explained here: https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/post/3567

I think it would look like this:

{Disc %disc/}

I'm pretty sure that when I first started using Strawberry, I could use the file organizer dialog and the song would remain in the current playlist and any other playlists, just referring to the new file location. Now, the file becomes unavailable, and I have to re-add it to any playlist it happens to be on.

I'm running Strawberry 1.0.23 on Linux Mint Zara, with the .deb package from the Ubuntu Noble repository.

@CharAznableLoNZ when I right-click on songs in the sidebar, this menu comes up--maybe this will do the trick?

@mncroc I think I see the issue--there are two different search boxes, and the minus sign works in one of them but not the other.

@Sharky-PI Actually, I just found a work-around for this! If you put quotes around the album name in the search bar, it will treat the dash as a literal dash and not as an exclude symbol.

@mncroc It's a minus sign. For example,

the beatles album:-"abbey road"

returns all songs by The Beatles (or that mention the Beatles in the tags) except the ones on Abbey Road.
The quotes are important if there's a space; otherwise, you'll get all songs that contain "the," "beatles," and "road" somewhere in the tags but don't have "abbey" in the album.

@Sharky-PI I think that's because the hyphen is used as a "minus", meaning "exclude this from the search results." For example, if you want to search for songs by The Band but exclude songs by The Band Perry, you can type "the band -perry".

@CharAznableLoNZ is the "Compilation" box checked in the tags? If it is, that song will go to the "Various Artists" folder no matter what the Album Artist field says. I've sometimes had an issue where the Compilation box will be inexplicably checked on albums where the artist is the same on every song--very annoying but thankfully pretty easy to fix.

I sometimes have a similar issue when I change the album art on a file that's currently playing.
