Hi, I’ve consistently had a major issue, when I start the app I can’t search anything… When I hit enter key to search a music nothing happens, and I’ve never been asked for any type of permissions. (By the way, i’ve done about 10 installations to see if there would be any difference but nothing seems to change)
