  @kibod67366 Is not impossible, you can use the tag editor Strawberry have if you want to change the title of the songs and other metadata.

  Strawberry supports saving playlists with relative paths,
  Go to Tools / Settings / Playlist and select "Relative" or "Ask when saving" under "When saving a playlist, file paths should be".
  When you save the playlist in d:\music, the paths should then point to directories / files without d:\music.
  This way you can copy the playlist files over on the other computer to the same music directory on a different drive.
  Another option is to simply edit the playlist file in a text editor and do a find/replace of d:\ with e:\

  @totti_777 I just added my Radio to Strawberry... previously, I loaded the contents of the 'Radio' tab and ended up with one or two I liked, but couldn't work out how to 'add radio'.

  So then - as with PyRadio which I usually use - I mostly added those by copying the URL from radio-browser.

  You can do the same job with an m3u playlist:

  #EXTM3U #EXTINF:0,🗫 BBC - Radio 4 Extra http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/sbr_low/ak/bbc_radio_four_extra.m3u8 #EXTINF:0,🎵 101 - Smooth Jazz http://jking.cdnstream1.com/b22139_128mp3

  I save playlists separate from my media players after having lost some in the past - so this works well (and Strawberry is good at getting Lyrics for many stations) so that I removed my alternative GUI radio player.

  Hi,

  I'm a maintainer of the projectM visualizer library. We've been working on making projectM better in many ways over the past two years or so, and finally released a new major version (4.0) back in April '23. This new version fixed a few bugs and improved the rendering quality, but was mainly focused on rewriting the build system (now only using CMake) and creating a proper API. libprojectM now supports building as a shared library on all platforms, and has a stable and clean C API instead of requiring direct access to the internal C++ code, which was a big issue for devs in all previous releases.

  Clementine used a forked copy of a very old projectM version, which was never updated and had numerous bugs and performance issues, so removing it from Strawberry was surely a good thing. Yet I think many users would like to have a visualizer again, and with the upcoming 4.1 release projectM will be (mostly) compatible with the latest Milkdrop release, support previously unimplemented preset features like loops and megabuf.

  The API won't change between 4.0 and 4.1, so if anyone has time to integrate it into Strawberry, you may start right away. If there are any questions, head over to our Discord or post in our GitHub discussion board, I'll be notified there. I try to check this forum from time to time, but expect longer delays here.

  @cookie A bit of a threadcromancy but I also ran into some issues there and made the account to suggest fixes

  Double vs single quotes got me but also after importing, loads of my playlists were empty. This is because not all of my stuff is within the Library DB. So on the statement where you're adding to the playlist_items table, there are two considerations:

  As OP made a case, the filename column in Clementine is NULL for Library type entries, and you need to insert '' instead.

  ADDITIONALLY, you DO want to insert also where type = 'File'.

  I'm bad with SQL so i just ran the thing twice instead of looking up how to inline OR, but yeah, this needs to get fixed in the wiki too

  @jonas
  I suggest an update to the wiki with an extra step.
  https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/How_to_translate
  Maybe should read

  Sign up .... Join relevant language team(s) Start translating .....

  Thanks, the wiki is updated.
  Since I was the one that registered the project I didn't have to join a language team.

  @AntEater and @timlance I came across this topic searching for how to output audio to AirPlay (or even anything but the internal speakers on my MacBookAir) and I finally figured it out and am posting my findings here for anyone else who might search and find this topic:

  Preferences/
  Backend/
  Under "Audio Output":
  Output: "Output to a sound card on MacOS"
  Device: "Automatically select"

  Of course, you can select any of the available devices under the "Device:" menu, but the "Automatically select" option appears to follow what output option (including AirPlay speakers) I have currently selected under my "Sound" menu options on the menu bar.

  Note - any changes in preferences didn't go into effect until I stopped and started whatever I was listening to.

  Great job developers!!
