Re: 2, the only think I can think of is maybe a couple of the songs are in a format Strawberry doesn't recognize or use file extensions it doesn't recognize? If it's the second one, it may be as simple as changing the end of the file name from .mpga to .mp3 or something like that. What format are the files in?

Now the link works, it didn't work before

@jonas

After re-configuring the my disk drives several times i have found that if the strawberry collection is not in the path ~/Music strawberry will requires rebuilding the collection, regardless of disk type (i.e. sdd, or hdd) ... since i have an SDD partition dedicated to my music library i just mount is at ~/Music/my_music and it seem to work

Thanks for the help

Depends on the version you use and what providers you have enabled in the settings. Genius requires a login.
If you use an older release than 1.0.19, most of the providers no longer works, at least of the good ones.
Many of the lyrics providers are broken in the 1.0.23 release, at least azlyrics, musixmatch and lyricsmode.com are no longer working. azlyrics and musixmatch have been fixed and lyricsmode.com is removed. But I have not relased a new version with these fixes.
There are no providers with a good API available for open source software, so we mostly rely on scraping HTML pages, which will break once they change their layout of the website, or just different methods to try and stop automatic use of the lyrics.

In case anyone else is having the same problem, I made a PR that fixes it for me. You can follow here #1424

That last reply isn't helpful as he is not asking how to login. I have the same problem and have no idea what to do.

@jonas I sure do. Thanks for the quick response!

@rlkeeney Thanks so much! 👌

How would the change have occurred, I certainly didn't do it?

@jonas That's what I just did, now it works. THANKS.

@jonas Thanks, that worked!

This seem like a bug with your systems cmake files.

I'm not sure how that happened. I'm using unmodified src code.

Found a solution!

Install all Pipewire packages

Create this file:
~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/swapped_channels.conf

and paste this:

context.modules = [ { name = libpipewire-module-loopback args = { audio.position = [ FL FR ] capture.props = { media.class = Audio/Sink node.name = swapped_channels node.description = "Switched Channels" } playback.props = { node.name = swapped_channels node.description = "my-sink" audio.position = [ FR FL ] node.target = "Switched Channels" } } } ] Then Choose pulseaudio in strawberry in and Choose this device: Switched Channels

@jonas said in Playlists are scrambled:

Make sure the "Mark disappeared songs unavailable" option is always on in the collection settings.

Roger that, I just set that now and will report back if it doesn't fix the issue.

Like I already said, report it to FreeBSD.
Someone from the BSD community needs to maintain the sndio plugin for GStreamer.

@rlkeeney RL do you happen to know if one can search the lyrics field?
I've started to manually enter lyrics for lots of deep house tunes which typically only have a few lines, and often an unrelated track name, so being able to search for
"specific sentences of lyrics"
would be really useful. The default search bar searches multiple fields including Comment but not lyrics, it seems.
Thanks for any intel!

@yelpspoon
How do you exit strawberry? Or is it left on while restarting? Does it remember it if you exit using the file menu?

@silver-sun Thanks for the reply.
I've already tried that option but it didn't do the job about the EBU. By the way, I keep it unchecked because Strawberry becomes unresponsive for 1-2 seconds when it detects changes and begins to scan.
I'm also using the replay gain (often using the "Ex Falso" app to scan mp3s and write the replay gain tags), I just wanted to test the EBU R 128 feature out of curiosity.

@jonas thank you for the reply, sorry I responded a little late , I have done a clean installation of latest strawberry 1.0.23 and experinced the same issue, thankfully your guide worked for me, I hope you solve this problem in future releases.
