@jonas I am so sorry! I had to create another account because I mismanaged my password for the original account and I keep asking for a password reset but no email comes ....

AT ANY RATE, you were right I was wrong. It's working PERFECTLY. I started thinking about your comments and I went back in and changed one thing and now its working great. The only thing I made sure I did not do, is mount the SANDISK using the Disks app. I instead just mounted it using Strawberry only.

Now I have sync happening. And I wrote down my sequence so I don't screw it up again 😉 Thanks! Laura

@jonas I did the mingw version and worked great! Thank you so much! I just joined the patreon for good measure!

I've not tried AC4 before, or seen Tidal streams using it, but I think it might be supported in GStreamer 1.22 by mpegtsdemux part of gstreamer bad plugins.

@mncroc
Do you know when / how the duplicates occurred?

If you used the organize feature prior to 1.0.23, it might be caused by a bug that is fixed in 1.0.23, but the duplicated are not removed automatically.
To manually remove duplicates, see.:
https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Find_and_delete_duplicates_from_the_collection_database
I suggest to make a backup of the database file (~/.local/share/strawberry/strawberry/strawberry.db) before attempting to modify it.

@scubaboyc
Nevermind. I figured it out.

Thank you , It was due to misuse on my part

A debug package will be needed to produce a useful backtrace. (Regular Arch packages have the symbols stripped out).

The URL you added is a HTML webpage, not a playable stream, you need to get the URL to the actual stream.

That does not sound normal. Although it's not the bitrate or the size of the collection that makes the most difference, it's the number of files.
For me with a collection of 24432 FLAC files (625GB), a scan is usually done in under 15 minutes on an SSD disk.
But with the song fingerprinting or ebur128 analysis options on it will take much longer.
Is your source a local disk? Is it an SSD disk? How many files do you have in total under the directory added in Collection, including all files not just audio files? What audio formats? Do you have the fingerprinting or ebur128 options on?

@MovingSounds Well I "sort of" fixed it.

I'd had my last.fm account since 2011 and I noticed that it hadn't updated for some time. So, I deleted the account and created a new one, connected it to Strawberry and it immediately started keeping track, in fact it even back-peddled and added tracks from the last couple of weeks.

@aap Thanks aap. It's terrible to say, but I feel better knowing I wasn't the only one with the problem. 😉

I break too many things doing something boneheaded, so the possibility it was something I did was in the back of my mind.

Qt5 Settings in Linux Mint 21.2 doesn't work for Strawberry anymore because Strawberry is built with Qt 6. See this in the wiki:

https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/FAQ#Strawberry_does_not_respect_Qt_style,_KDE_theme_or_icons_on_Linux.

I tried to compile the qt6ct utility mentioned there, but my version of Mint did not meet the required dependencies. But I'm a relative newbie to Linux so maybe I missed something.

I don't think there is currently a version of Strawberry available with Qt 5.

@jonas still a bug on 1.0.21 from Manjaro community repo qt version 5.15.11
