Which setup file did you use (there are 5 different ones), and what anti-virus program, and most importantly is your anti-virus up-to-date?
I tested all the installers, none of the 3 msvc based has any detection, but the mingw x64 has detection from trapmine, ikarus and google, while the x86 one has a couple of more from Avast and AVG (the worst anti-virus programs made), these are false-positives typical for programs based on MinGW-W64, they just matches files based on a certain pattern or use AI, that's one of the reasons we have MSVC version instead. But as you can see by the reports, all trustworthy antivirus programs (Microsoft, Bitdefender, Symantic, McAfree, ESET, etc) does not detect anything.
So I suggest to either use the MSVC version ( if you are using the MinGW version), or you can report this to your anti-virus software as false-positive (as some of these require a paid account / subscription to report false-positives).

You have newer versions of Qt than what is compatible with Ubuntu Noble and the strawberry PPA for Ubuntu Noble. The version should be 6.4, but you have 6.9. I think you need to ask Tuxedo directly.

• Fixed system default language not respected
• Fixed length filter search
• Fixed playlist parser converting Spotify URL's
• Removed use of deprecated QStyle::State_Editing
• Ignore connection closed errors for ListenBrainz
• (Windows) Support building with vcpkg unofficial::getopt-win32::getopt

They changed the API to not allow localhost anymore, have to use 127.0.0.1 instead:

I've fixed this now https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/9ed89afdb2063baaac694f59e7a97d27871e7a01

This error message isn't from strawberry, it doesn't copy the album cover like that, and doesn't use the 'cp' command. Seems like some sort of script that is set up to copy the cover when strawberry changes song, maybe listening to D-Bus for song change.

@CharAznableLoNZ said in Strawberry reads new "sort" tags instead of the traditional tags when sorting.:

I use the "Album Artist" tag as one of the main ways I sort my play lists. I have noticed strawberry 1.2.14 now ignores the actual "Album Artist" tag and instead uses the "Album Artist Sort" tag.

The playlist should still use the album artist tag, there is a separate column called "Album Artist Sort" which uses the sort tag.
Looking at the source code, I do not see how this can happen, can you show a screenshot of the playlist showing the incorrect sort behavior?

This means I now have to go through my entire music collection and clear out all the "sort" tags. God only knows how this will screw up syncing albums to devices which strawberry has continually screwed up since it was forked from Clementine.

There isn't a device sync feature in Strawberry, I assume you might mean the copy to device feature?
Some parts of Strawberry have been entirely rewritten from scratch, (even though the interface looks the same) to fix underlying design flaws, sometimes this can change behavior, or cause regressions, could you explain what's screwed up?

I've also seen this issue for a long time, looks like Listenbrainz closes the connection too early.

The author posted in May on https://github.com/mattl/hacienda/discussions/117 that "I have taken the decision in light of recent events to close Libre.fm permanently.", then he changed this statement several times, but until recently it has been pretty clear that libre.fm was more or less closed. Apparently he changed his mind in the last few days and relaunched a new site replacing the bare bone strange site that was in place of the original site.
But this doesn't change the fact that libre.fm has been unstable for years, hardly anyone uses it, and seem to be pretty much a one-man project going nowhere. I've also pretty much lost my trust in libre.fm.
We already got both last.fm and listenbrainz as an alternative, I see no point in adding it back.

Yes it is strange, I don't know where M comes from. The divider key is set from the sort text, but the sort text is the same as composer unless composer sort is set.

Hard for me to figure out since I can't reproduce it, but if someone else can reproduce it, here is where it needs to be debugged:

What OS is this on, and what locale settings do you have?
