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.

@apistoletov I am not sure that is relevant. Here is why... the tag already exists. So all I care about is being able to right-click on Strawberry main window and show that particular ID tag in the Stawberry window ...but it isnt listed. Why? Its not a difficult thing to add in.

longer explanation...

Every EDM track I ever downloaded from Beatport or other EDM distribution labels used for DJing has BPM for that track set in the ID3 tag called "Beats-per-minute". This is already defined and existing in 100% of tracks in my EDM folder of music. Any EDM track changing BPM part way through is going to cause problems coz its dance music none of them change bpm part way through. For rock, maybe you have point but it isnt relevant in terms of showing the ID 3 tag - just showing it. Its there. Why not let us show it?

not sure if links to images are allowed but here is an example of it in action on windows. https://imgur.com/a/rJkmxSn BPM is a key thing in EDM, maybe folk rock never had this concern, but I do.

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

@jonas, @MarvinTM1, this may be related to a new feature in Sonoma where a capslock indicator is displayed in applications when the capslock key is turned on. Much discussion here.

Here's what it looks like:

the Indicator appears below the insertion point in applications where there is editable text—even in the Finder for documents and folder names.

For Strawberry it will display under any editable column:

I could not get this issue to occur on 14.5, 13.6.7, or 12.7.5. But I could get it to occur consistently on 11.7.10—which doesn't have this feature—by turning the capslock on in Strawberry or turning it on in the Finder or other app and then turning it off in Strawberry.

@jonas thank you! really appreciate it.😃

@happy-turtle1 I found this site

I think this one has the Mac versions from past releases. Let me know if you found them.

@overdress188 ,
1st) install qt6ct app using your linux version package manager.

2nd) are you using bash shell? if you are, in your home folder there is .bash_profile and .bashrc files in your home directory.

open .bash_profile (or .bashrc if you want the environment variable set there) and add the following line:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=qt6ct

3rd) open the qt6ct program you installed from your package manager, its a gui prgram not commandline.

On the Appearance tab (first tab) you will see a setting for color scheme: set it to 'darker' and click apply.

Logout, log back in and now the qt6ct setting you just changed will enable 'darker' mode in Strawberry.

@jonas Is that the source of the -1 in the length? I guess that makes the playlist generator less useful.

It turns out that this may not be a problem with Strawberry at all, instead it is the result of me forgetting to renew my qobuz subscription lol

https://github.com/ClaraCrazy/Tidal2Strawberry is a python script that creates a strawberry-formatted xspf file from a Tidal URL. Seems to work, allowing me to play My New Arrivals, for example.

@Sharky-PI Actually, I just found a work-around for this! If you put quotes around the album name in the search bar, it will treat the dash as a literal dash and not as an exclude symbol.

I sometimes have a similar issue when I change the album art on a file that's currently playing.

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
