I left it for several minutes. Will turn off that option and try the upgrade agian.

Hello, what are the differences between msvc, mingw (and the last ones?)
Jonas Kvinge
Before you upgrade, in version 1.2.3. Turn this option off in the settings: under Settings / Playlist / "Grey out unavailable songs in playlists on startup", uncheck that then try the new version again and see if that helps.
Jonas Kvinge
The only thing I can think of that's causing it to freeze on startup in the new version is that I changed the way it checks if songs are available, so now it will take a bit longer and can freeze a little on startup if you have large playlists. How long did you wait for it to respond? I tried to add my entire collection with over 24.000 songs and it only took a few seconds for it to respond.
Michael Jones
I actually don't have any regular playlists defined. I have a couple of smart playlists defined that select from my whole collection, which is a few thousand tracks. I downgraded back to 1.2.3 and that's working fine, can try the upgrade again if it will help.
Jonas Kvinge
Do you have many, or large playlists?
Michael Jones
Jonas, when I installed 1.2.4 on my Macbook (x86) it will start up but then hangs -- doesn't respond to mouse clicks at all, I have to force quit it.
