@sigiken What specific data do you need? If it's only play counts and last played, it should be supported directly if they are saved to the file tags. If it's only stored in the database, you need to import it using SQL commands, if Mediamonkey uses sqlite3, it should be possible to attach both databases and import it using a single sql UPDATE command, you can use the following as reference (https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Import_collection_library_and_playlists_from_Clementine), but you need to use UPDATE instead of INSERT.

@tricolor3377 Album art does not work with Discord because it requires a remote URL to the cover. The moodbar only works with local files.

@sardior (Sorry, I'm an incurable pedant - not being rude!) Fyi, all audio formats (bar 'raw') are encoded (even stuff like FLAC). M4P files are encrypted - that's the issue (with Strawberry). Kind Regards, Jon

@iceman @iceman I did not use itunes to create my m3u playlists but an android player called Musicolet and receive the exact same message on Linux Mint. However it won't play one song despite them all being in my library. I installed from the Linux Mint store as well.

I'm on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2 Zara. The following config just worked for me: Tools > Settings... > User interface > Appearance > Style > Style: gtk2 [image: e3ad7a0f-cf8e-4447-b1dc-4295e65e47aa-image.png]

I think it would look like this: {Disc %disc/}

@ruinspc IIRC you fix this on a per-tracks basis by unclicking "compilation" in the track's properties. Or similar option.

Update: After giving the iPod to a friend who reformatted it with iTunes for Windows, Strawberry can now read the iPod. However any music written to the iPod seems to disappear as soon as I disconnect it. I can confirm that files placed on the device manually do not disappear

@jonas , exactly! thank you very much!

More sleuthing has uncovered something. Puddletag shows various files with Playcounts with 2 values e.g. 0\0, 0\258, up to 0\65335. I tried to delete those screwy counts in puddletag by overwriting them with 0 but it doesn't seem to have taken. Or they've regenerated. Checking in kid3 it turns out that one of those files, with 0\258 has FMPS_PLAYCOUNT=0 FMPS_Playcount=258. If I listen to it once in strawberry: FMPS_PLAYCOUNT=0, FMPS_Playcount=259. So strawberry increments FMPS_Playcount but not FMPS_PLAYCOUNT. I wonder what the official/correct tag name is? https://www.exiftool.org/TagNames/ID3.html this says it's "PCNT" for id3 v2.4 According to https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1074 , FMPS_Playcount (Strawberry spelling) is CORRECT, so logically something else has been using FMPS_PLAYCOUNT. But why do they (second entry, FMPS_Playcount) go up to 65335? And does overwriting them with 0 in puddletag not work because it's displaying 2 variants of the same tag? In puddletag I can't create separate columns for the 2 spellings because it automatically uppercases them but displays both.

@nainggolouille I believe it happens automatically in the background

I was able to get it working and what I had to do was in a virtual environment installed iTunes reset the iPod nano back to factory. Then I attempted to copy a couple albums over from the strawberry media player in Linux. It said everything copied and then I disconnected properly and there were no music on the player. Plugged it back in and now strawberries says that there is a database problem. I just went back into the virtual environment and just copied everything that I wanted onto the iPod nano third generation in itunes and it’s good to go.

I use rsync and back up my entire home directory to two external hard drives.
