OK, but I still consider this as a bug!
It should warn that the disk is not connected rather than erasing everything.
That would be easy to do.
If you have a large library, it will take a long time to rebuild.
@econnolly I have the same problem on Linux, using the OpenSuse Tumbleweed OS. The transcoder bitrate does not change from the default, in my case 114kbps.
There are alternatives which do variable bit rate, and support bitrates up to 320kbps, though it would be good to have the choice of better bitrates in Strawberry. I aim to use 160Kbps for playing on my iPod nano.
replying bc it's pertinent and one of the first results for google (and i wish it were here), but for distros that support it, there's a PPA for a qt6 configuration tool just like the qt5 one that things like Linux Mint ships with. it's experimental but it did the trick just fine. https://launchpad.net/~savoury1/+archive/ubuntu/qt-6-2
hope this helps any fellow people coming from google and you two (even though i doubt either of y'all will see this lol)
@jonas
Good news: today gstreamer1-1.24.4-1 was rolled out by the Fedora Team and everything works fine now on my good old Lenovo M58 🙂
So you were right: the error was in gstreamer and not in Strawberry!
Thank you for your excellent work!
@jonas Thanks so much. the gentleman that set up that moodbar thought it would be cool to watch the bar change, depending upon the song. I am sure I did not even look at the fields and left it set up. Thanks much.
Not sure, I've since moved away from using cuesheets (they make a number of other things inconvenient as well), and I did not ever notice anything like this when cuesheets aren't involved
