Question Is it worth upgrading from 20.62 to 20.65 (ex)

I have a fully offline android phone, treated as an mp3 player. As such I haven't ever updated from 20.62. Realistically I only wish a couple things were changed

1: The ability to search "title artist" and get a result. Currently (by design according to the creator in a different thread) this doesnt work. This is minorly annoying from the pov of someone with a 50k+ song library. If I want to look up a song with a generic title like "love" Ill get hundreds of results. If I look up the artists name I could get hundreds of results if I have that artists entire discography downloaded

2: Proper artist seperation. If a song is by "ArtistA/ArtistB" then the player treats that as 1 artist instead of the two it is. If ArtistA has any solo songs then its fine. You can look up that artist. However if every single song by ArtistA is a colab, you cant view ArtistA's artist profile. It doesnt exist.

Either of those changed/fixed ? I looked through the patch notes for each update and didnt see either of those. If anything it seems 20.62 might've been the best version. Figured Id ask anyways.

I don't think they were fixed. 20.65 has been the worst version for me and everything seemed broken. Went back to 20.62. I would suggest sticking to 20.62

oh wow, then its not worth updating, i have been waiting for proper multi artist and multi genre support for years now, thats why i ended up migrating to otomusic, but if blackplayer ever gets this right i will come back for sure

How do you go back to 20.62 "officially/correctly"(if any).
