I restored from a backup done on 31 December 2021.

It looks good so far. I only lost around 150 ratings.

One thing I never liked about storing data in the files was how long it took to run a backup every file I listened to was changed and got backed up. So I'm going to do the fingerprinting run a backup and see how that goes.

@twist I second your words! I am brand-new to Strawberry, a reformed Clementine survivor, and Strawberry was already audio app #1 in my book these past several days. Now it is officially version #1 too, hurrah!

Hi,

there is a dep package at opensuse
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:stevepassert
or and select "Grab Binary packages directly
https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?package=strawberry&project=home%3Astevepassert

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevepassert/Debian_10/armhf/strawberry_0.9.3-0.1~obs_armhf.deb

I use it on my Pi4 with lite Desktop and it works without any issues so far

@dcot
Gapless playback is when there is no gap when transitioning to the next song, it does not strip the actual silent beginning or ending from a song, that's something else, not what's usually considered gapless playback. There is no option or plans to add any feature to strip off silent parts from a song.

@jonas Ah, I see. Probably a good idea. Maybe it's possible to change the tool-tip wording for the uninitiated?

@swagstaff said in Continue High Sierra os x 10.13 support?:

We have to patch some Qt6-specific code to build with Qt5. Edit the following files:
../3rdparty/macdeployqt/main.cpp
../3rdparty/macdeployqt/shared.cpp
And change ALL instances of
QLibraryInfo::path
to
QLibraryInfo::location
(A quick way to patch:)
$ sed -i '.bak' 's/QLibraryInfo::path/QLibraryInfo::location/g' ../3rdparty/macdeployqt/{main,shared}.cpp

These steps can be skipped with Strawberry 0.9.3 and up; the code was fixed to check for Qt5 and use the proper function.

I noticed that the page was updated. Thanks! 🙂

@jonas said in remove duplicates - overzealous:

You can attach them here or send them to me on e-mail. I think my e-mail is listed on the profile (and in the about of Strawberry).

Thanks Jonas.
I can't upload them here - not enough rights apparently.
As workaround I looked up your address via your Github site and sent a private message from my gmail account (subject "strawberry").

Which flavour of Linux are you using?

I tried Ubuntu Studio, but it seems not to be that compatible with Strawberry

I've found that Linux OS is always faster than Windows or Mac. However, running Strawberry makes operations slow down

For instance the Update when the program is started takes 30-40 mins

Ahh, I'll bet this is related to Issue #511 on GitHub, "Songs added to playlist are not sorted as they should".

I guess you can't please everyone, but I actually found the lack of sorting new playlist items useful, as I built playlists. Often I would add items and then decide I didn't want them in the playlist. By having them all at the end of the playlist, in the order that I added them, I could easily keep track of things.

I hope you will reconsider and put the sort arrows back.

Removing them did nothing to change the behavior, and I think showing them actually provides something useful. My opinion.

The only thing we have so far is the Wiki on GitHub: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/wiki
If someone wants to help with this it would be appreciated.
I was thinking of a MediaWiki site (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki) and perhaps a YouTube channel that can also help spread the word and get more active contributors and funding.
I can create the Wiki and the channel if someone volunteers to help with it.
If someone is interested in helping with it, contact me and we can discuss it.
Strawberry is a community based project with limited funding. You can become a GitHub sponsor to help fund the project.

The last release we have for Xenial is 0.5.5 still available on https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases
It's not possible to use a newer version without upgrading Qt and sqlite3 to newer versions.
To use a newer version you need to compile from source and upgrade Qt and sqlite3, maybe those are available through PPA's.
