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?
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.
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.
Hi, now I tried to activate Pulse and then choose "Output to a sound card via ALSA" in Strawberry and under "Device": "Automatically select" instead of the name of my sound card.
Now audio seems to work simultaniously in firefox and strawberry.
But pulse is active. Is that a problem for sound quality despite the fact that I have chosen "Output.... ALSA" in Strawberry?
@ben2talk well, Cantarell regular is pretty legible, but i've got you point. It has to be implemented in the player itself, but currently it don't.
Breaking all of the system look is not an option.
Fusion is part of Qt and the default style in Qt, nothing specific to Strawberry. For any application which doesn't have a setting to change style you can still set this by using the QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE environment variable.
But maybe you didn't have this issue with Clementine because you either used a different style, or there is a bug in the newer versions of Qt. The latest release of Clementine is still using Qt 4 (although you can build Clementine with Qt 5 with the latest source code from git). While Strawberry is Qt 6, but still compatible with Qt 5. Qt 5 is more or less end of life from Qt for open source use, the Qt company have closed the Qt 5 branches.
@wolfie No, there's no portable version of Strawberry at the moment, at least no for Windows. You can post this on the Feature Suggestions category, since is not a current feature.
