That seems wrong, I'll fix it now.

@jonas You cry for no contributions but then you make a year/monthly suscription. WTF? Put a mandatory single payment, man!!

@jonas User name is mrrjhrpc@gmail.com.

@econnolly That helped. I was fighting with all the "!=" and the suggestions in the pop-up tip, but actually they don't always work. e.g. "year:!=2" didnt work to filter out year 2xxx where "year:-2" does. I hadn't even thought to use the "-" minus sign, but it turns out to be far superior. Also the $ does nothing as far as I can tell there are no wild cards.

"genre:rock -hard -indie -pop -art comment:-amazon year:-20"

basically gives me all the "rock" genre with any "hard rock", "indie rock", "pop rock", and "art rock" filtered out, while also filtering out anything with "amazon" in the comment and sticking to 19xx for the year.

@jonas Yes I use the last played time (oldest first), fwiw the actual search criteria is here https://imgur.com/a/M5AbzAR (far too complicated!) as I wrote when it skips in the albums I'm thinking of all the tracks satisfy those criteria and on the next edit page are shown sequentially just when they appear on the playlist due to dynamic mode being set, some tracks get skipped.

This drives me crazy. There are solutions to this. Why hasn't anyone contacted this guy? I can use the Qobuz tokens his program generates, but the Tidal ones don't work; however, he may be able provide guidance on that.

Missing this feature also a lot. Missing also especially the BPM and KEY tag for creating selections for djing

@CherryStraw thanks.

@WoodrowShigeru You might want to consider a field that supports a date, such as ContentCreateDate, to hold that information. I don't believe Strawberry displays it though.

@OriNOVet Aha, they can be tricky.

Search terms 'Last Played' I set this to 'not in the last year' and after >Next 'Sort songs by Last Played oldest first', only showing the first 20, and dynamic playback enabled.

@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!!

@jonas Is there a way to play the result of the query? That would be a pretty awesome feature.

Filter the playlist by typing "album:Yubiwa" in the search field

@diem said in Thank you!:

Hi,

I've been a desktop Linux user for two years now and only just came upon Strawberry by accident. How is it possible that after four years it doesn't have a bigger profile in the Linux community?? I'm sponsoring the project of course - a free audio-quality-first player? I'm in!

Thank you for your ongoing contribution to audiophile audio, and I do hope your back pain problem is proving manageable.

Ian

I came here to say this too - I have been looking for a good Linux music program for awhile and am super happy I finally found Strawberry! Thank you to all the maintainers!!

@Peach
I think I have had this happened once (I don't "drag" the songs often). It may be related to https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/topic/1166/stuck-after-a-track-is-finished, at least the symptoms are the same: the song is stuck.
