I ran into a problem when attempting the online album lookup before recording. It seems to work after recording but the benefit of having track names/times and automatically inserted track splits is lost. I've searched the forums but have not found anything like this reported.
I haven't used VS for a while, and in the meantime I have upgraded my MacBook and MacOS. As I worked on refreshing myself of the process to use VS, I found that the album lookup process led to problems and ultimately freezing up.
Here is my configuration:
VS V15.0.2
MacBook Air M4, 13-inch, 24 GB
macOS Tahoe 26.0.1
Here is what happens:
On the Record tab, select "Record or import a new album," then click the Record button.
Enter artist and title.
Click Lookup Album Online button.
Maintain the default selection "Album artist and / or title".
Click Continue.
A matching albums list is returned (Discogs as source).
The Use Selected Listing, Close, and Help (?) buttons are unresponsive.
It is possible to select among the matching albums and see the track information.
The Fetch Album Art button is unresponsive.
No way to dismiss the dialog box.
If I change the artist and title, the Lookup button does not respond.
The Change Database operation to Choose Multiple opens a new dialog but it is virtually unresponsive, including the Cancel and Apply buttons.
At this point, I need to force quit to get out.
Trying different albums does not change the result. Restarting the Mac does not help. I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions? Is this an incompatibility with my hardware and/or OS, or possibly a bug?
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this. We do know about this problem and will issue an update soon. In the meantime, you can use 'Lookup Track Listing' in the Split Tracks window after creating the album. That should insert track names and splits in the same way as you are used to.
Thanks, Paul. I'll do the lookup in post as you suggest, and I'll eagerly await an update.
