@hamaryns No, I think so. You must put the folder of your music directly in the Collection section, not just a direct access.

It calculates and stores a unique fingerprint for each song in the database so that if the files are renamed or moved on disk (within the collection directory) it manage to track where the files moves so it does not loose playcounts and ratings data.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_fingerprint

@lvsunz37
You can't install in a different profile. You can create a backup of the database, the file containing the data is strawberry.db

@craiguk
No, strawberry does not set icon for filetypes. Icons for mimetypes are loaded from /usr/share/icons/ there is usually subfolders called mimetypes.

@buffalo that's very kind, thank you very much! Have a nice day!

Confirmed, @silver-sun!

Local lyrics display correctly in the "Context" pane, so the problem is limited to fetching lyrics.

@jonas I realize I'm replying to an old post, but I didn't see any reason to make a new one. I would like to revisit this issue of the wrong bit depth being reported by GStreamer when an aac file is playing (32 bits instead of 16 bits). Where can I report this to the GStreamer developers? Or is it something you can report? I have GitHub and GitLab accounts, but I am just a Linux hobbyist. I report bugs, but I don't have the deep technical knowledge that would enhance my reporting. Thanks.

@bluesshow Are you using a Mac with Apple Sillicon? I have understood the build for Sillicon is still work in progress?

@buffalo many thx. Done

Found the problem. Offline mode was enabled for some reason. Is there some way to scrobble the songs during offline mode again?

That doesn't work for me either. In clementine it kind of works. Recently played includes full albums even if only one track from the album has been played...

Ahh got it to work. I have to refresh the opened playlist. Then the imported dates are visible. If someone needs the export SQL from Media Monkey to Strawberry:

SELECT SongPath, Artist, Album, AlbumArtist, TrackNumber, DiscNumber, SongTitle, PlayCounter, strftime('%s', datetime(LastTimePlayed + 2415019.0)) as lastplayed FROM Songs WHERE LastTimePlayed > 0;

Media Monkey uses juliandate to save the date. I export the other fields additionally, to match the fields in Strawberry and find the correct songs. Form the returned entrys, i create the above UPDATE statement for Strawberry:

UPDATE `songs` SET `lastplayed` = 1631919400, `playcount` = 4 WHERE `artist` = "Some Artist" AND `album` = "Some album" AND `track` = 5 AND `title` = "some title";

I found in "Tools" an entry to import this data from last.fm, which works as expected. Is there a way to use libre.fm, instead of last.fm?

@jonas

sudo pacman -S gst-plugins-base-libs

fixed it :3

@jonas it worked! Thank you for your fast answer, this solved the problem.
