Hi, when I enable the local files option, all my other type songs mp3 and flacs have proper metadata as in title album art etc, but all my M4A files have no album art,.song name or anything. All my other players detect fine. Just SpotiFlac can't. I have uploaded a picture where it shoes all of them detected as saf something.

Just passing through while browsing the other issues and thought I'd give my 2cents. If I were you, I'd stick with downloading the highest quality FLACs possible and then use FFmpeg to either resample or reencode yourself for the highest possible quality with the least amount of issues like yours. I'm sure LLM's could help you out. Speculating, but I doubt the lead dev will pay any mind to this issue since the program focuses solely on FLACs, and for good reason. All other conversions are usually done locally once the master is obtained. All personal preference of course :)
