  There is an unstable PPA for Ubuntu here: https://launchpad.net/~jonaski/+archive/ubuntu/strawberry-unstable It gets updated with the latest code from git. If Linux Mint is compatible with one of the Ubuntu versions there it might work for you, I'm not familiar with Linux Mint.

  We already have a column called album_id, which is primarily used to separate albums in the models. Currently this is not in use for local files, only Tidal and Qobuz. So basically all you need to do is to update the tagreader code to read the musicbrainz id's: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/blob/master/ext/libstrawberry-tagreader/tagreader.cpp

  @jonas Yes, adding a note about this in the warning dialog would be useful, thanks. For me, it's no catastrophe, I'll just reconstitute my playlists little by little.

  Perfect thanks - group by Artist/Album removes the 'Disc nn' from the collection view and it looks like I can leave the metadata as is.

  @jonas It sounds like you are saying that the default settings of; Save album covers in album directory and use hash is broken in the case where files are not physically stored in album specific folders. If this is the case, then why bother to use a hash at all? I would have expected that whether using a hash or a pattern, whether stored in the album's (or more accurately file's) directory or located in a hidden directory in the user's home folder, that there is some database that associates a particular physical image file with a particular physical music file. To do otherwise creates a hidden trap for any user that may choose to store their music files in any structure other than limiting folders to only containing the files of a single album. If someone were to put all of their Goo Goo Dolls files in a folder, or all their songs from the 80's, or as I have done with some of my folders, just collections of completely unrelated music files then Strawberry's current implementation is unable to correctly handle the situation. thanks again for your work.

  0.8.2 on Kubuntu 20.04: extremely slow scan of large library

  Hi @jonas, in the test installation, 2 tag readers were running. Anyway, I see your efforts and testing and I don't think we can resolve this issue within a reasonable time frame. I think I'll simply reduce my collection to be scanned by around 50K files that I have mainly for archival purposes; I can manage them elsewhere. With 20K files, Strawberry performs ok, as-is. I'll continue to test and will let you know when the larger collection gets scanned fine. BTW: Thank you for the great work on Strawberry, I like the configurability and the easy way of retrieving good quality cover images. So, I keep using it. As I saw on github, somebody else has already posted a wish for multiple genres per file, which seems to imply a lot of rework with respect to the tag reader and the database. It's really the one feature that would make Strawberry perfect for me. Using picard and EasyTag for tagging, I like to keep my collection clean and well-tagged, and I'd love to see the player list all tags separately, in the tree. But that's another story, for another day... Greetings, Rolf

  What audio files do you have? It will skip any directory that is hidden, or has files named ".nomedia" or ".nomusic".

  The default is "use the system default", which will whatever RC_LANG or RC_LC_ALL is set to on your system. The configuration is "language" under [behaviour] in ~/.config/strawberry/strawberry.conf, this file does not exist until the first time you save settings.

  I can confirm that the Debian instructions also work to compile from source on a Pi 4 running the aarch64 beta of Raspberry Pi OS.

  Thanks. As You assumed it's not strawberry issue. qdbus commands to control mpris2 work okay. Something is not right in KDE.

  Strawberry will scan every single file in the directory you add to the collection independent of filetype, so make sure you don't have other files than music in the directory. But to get an idea of what it's doing it could be useful to run it from the terminal like already suggested.

  I see that the problem is that since bullseye is unstable, they have upgraded their libcdio library since the 0.7.2 release, so the deb is no longer working. So you need to build from source yourself to run it on bullsye. See: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/wiki/Compiling-on-Debian

  For Spotify music, if you want to import and move them to other platforms, then you may fail due to the protection of it. But things would be different while you get help from tools like DRmare Spotify MP3 Playlist Downloader. I often used it to get Spotify music available for other devices and platforms.
