I'm still getting the buffering issue.

@jonas Yes, I have enabled Save play counts to song tags.

Thanks. I'll wait for the update to work its way into the repository. I just got 1.2.4.

@jonas
Is this it?
gstreamer-plugin.x86_64 1.2.8-8.fc40

@Jellby I considered that, but the date would be false, and playing through the list would allow me to listen to some music I haven't listened to in a long time.

@jonas Thanks,

Is there any way to fix two database entries for the same track?

Looks like exactly what I need. Thanks.

@jonas I upgraded Fedors from 39 to 40 and it seems to be fixed.

@jonas Thanks; I'll try to redo the tags with EasyTag

@jpirie
That looks like a different issue than @rlkeeney had.
What version of GStreamer do you have?

@rajm @mncroc @rlkeeney support this request, would really make sence to be able to sort/order (Smart) Playlists!

@jonas Switching to Alsa fixed it. Thanks.

@sebastjava I am using the mute on the Strawberry icon on my toolbar. I think I saw someone else post about this same issue.

The skip doesn't happen here with a 10-second mute. I have to have it on mute for a few minutes at least. When it skips it sounds like it is playing the track very fast. It's unintelligible noise. Sometimes it skips only a short time and others it skips all the way to the end of the track. I can reproduce it at will. As far as I can recall, Strawberry has always done this on my system.

While playing with mute I noticed that it does not mute right away. Sometimes it takes 10 seconds or more for the sound to stop. I don't know why I never noticed that before.

I turned off the analyzer and played with mute some more. Sometimes when I mute the sound would stop right away and the slider at the bottom of the screen would stop moving. No way to tell if it was playing since it was muted. After I unmuted it didn't start playing again so I click the stop button and then play and it started to play again. Later I repeated the process but this time I went to do something else and after a short time It started playing.

This is that big of a deal. I have been living with it since I started using Strawberry. I and the other person that mentioned the skipping may be the only people using the mute switch.

@jonas MusicBrainz Picard has an option to "Save AcoustID fingerprints to file tags". Will SMP read/use/benefit from those saved fingerprints, or will it generate its own fingerprint instead?

I restored from a backup done on 31 December 2021.

It looks good so far. I only lost around 150 ratings.

One thing I never liked about storing data in the files was how long it took to run a backup every file I listened to was changed and got backed up. So I'm going to do the fingerprinting run a backup and see how that goes.

It is happening more often now.

The odd thing is that tracks are being scrobbled.
