AIMP stopped working altogether.

Samsung Galaxy S10+, Android 11, HUGE 200+gb music library.

This started yesterday. Whenever I open AIMP, it does one of the following:

1 - It gives me a warning that Android 11 limits which folders it can access, then crashes (I've been on Android 11 for nearly 1 year now)

2 - It displays my favorites, and is able to start playing the first song, then crashes.

3 - Gives me the same error message as #1 above, then the message goes away, and once I hit the "default", it shows the music library, but all of the song names have a random number at the beginning of it, most of the songs have 0:00 length, and it crashes after a second or 2.

I'm thinking of re-installing, but I'm afraid of losing my favorites. Anyone knows if that remains after I un-install, or do I need to manually back it up? And if so, which folders exactly do I need to back-up?

Thanks in advance.

I would start by checking the phone settings. newer systems have more stringent restrictions.
