    @remelach You're welcome.
    Additionally, you can also use MP3Tag to check/edit the metadata of your songs, in case you need another software to do so.

    The startup could be slower because of the way Strawberry initializes objects earlier at startup, I fixed bugs and even rewrote many parts of the code where Clementine did things unsafe thread-wise, ie.: reading and modifying GUI things from a another thread than the main thread, which will be faster, but it's broken code, and just a coincidence that it doesn't crash.
    One thing you can try is to turn off "Grey out unavailable songs in playlist on startup" in Settings / Playlist, this feature will lag the startup significantly.

    Strawberry has a little delay at the beginning of the scan, it's because it iterates through the directories to find the number of files for the progress % status.
    Clementine calculates the progress only based on the number of directories, which makes the progress inaccurate, and often stuck on 97-99% for a long time.
    Other than that, then scan speed should be pretty much identical.

    Just renaming the file from file.webm to file.mka make it work for me. Looks like the container (matroska) is supported by Strawberry, just the extension is the limit.

    The cause of this issue is that Strawberry does not find hidden album art in the album folder but amarok and clementine do.

    I have taken the Clementine patch issued in 2012 and modified it for the current gentoo release of Strawberry and raised it as an issue on the strawberry github. https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1809

    I didn't see any requests for it in Crowdin, but I've added them now so they should be available right now.

    Hi all, I searched the forums, but couldn't find a match.

    First off, I'm running Debian 12.6 "Bookworm" KDE DE. In Strawberry, every time I select 'Show in file browser' in the context menu it opens up Easytag instead of the Dolphin file manager!

    Any reason why that would be?

    Thanks in advance!
