If you have issues with the scan never finishing you can start strawberry from the terminal to get an idea where it's stuck. Similar problem reported on GitHub turned out to be a permission issue: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/583

If you are on Linux or macOS can simply open a terminal window, then start strawberry by simply typing strawberry on Linux. On macOS you can type: /Applications/strawberry.app/Contents/MacOS/strawberry
On Windows you have to use the debug version to see the output.

@jonas said in remove duplicates - overzealous:

You can attach them here or send them to me on e-mail. I think my e-mail is listed on the profile (and in the about of Strawberry).

Thanks Jonas.
I can't upload them here - not enough rights apparently.
As workaround I looked up your address via your Github site and sent a private message from my gmail account (subject "strawberry").

@kuroo try this one https://softorino.com/waltr/other/how-put-music-ipod-classic/

@jonas ah. okee doke. Thanks!!

It wasn't displayed correctly in my previous message: the two artists are separated, in the tag, by a double backlash (not a single backlash).

@orinovet Thanks for the suggestion. A bind mount does seem to be a good simple workaround for the problem!

@martino

Hello jonas.

Back to the problems!

Started Strawberry just now and my 'A' collection is now back down to 15 entries and my artists who are numbers (ie 10cc, 10000 Maniacs etc) have disappeared all together.

I've checked again the tags on some of the missing artists and searched Strawberry but they aren't being found at all.

Annoyingly they were all there last night!

Not sure where I go from here.

Regards,

Martin

Version 1.0.2 is released which should hopefully fix the bug.

@golfprofred Glad, I could help.

@failafail
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Strawberry_(Software) suggests that Clementine collects data, that's wrong.

@Cooker_8872
The settings were removed in 1.0.12. So you would have to downgrade to 1.0.11.

But maybe the workaround using qt6ct works for you too.

@jonas I understand that moving a song within the same music collection directory means renaming it and/or moving it between several possible subfolders of the main folder. It's right ?

A debug package will be needed to produce a useful backtrace. (Regular Arch packages have the symbols stripped out).

I would also love to see this feature. I was using Strawberry (and Clementine before that) years ago, and just recently discovered that it has subsonic support. However, the ability to stream via UPnP to my stereo would complete the experience. Currently there's only one subsonic client on Linux that can do that, and it doesn't always work very well.

For an "every thing but the kitchen sink..... well alright, the kitchen sink too" type app like Strawberry, it seems odd for this to be missing. (likely because UPnP is an absolute mess of a protocol, so understandable.... but you can do it... I believe in you)

Thanks!

@scubaboyc said in MP3 Player suggestion?:

Good Evening,
I'm thinking of purchasing the below MP3 player.
It's Android based and I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it.
What I wanted to know was if I'm running Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon, will my computer be able to see it and will I be able to generate playlists and add them to it via Strawberry?
If not, does anyone have any suggestion?
Thanks,

Hello! Compatibility with Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon for the Android MP3 player may vary. Check the device specifications and seek community advice. Ensure Strawberry supports file transfer to the player.

@jonas Not on the list. I disabled pulse so not sure if that's a problem.

I'm on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2 Zara. The following config just worked for me:

Tools > Settings... > User interface > Appearance > Style > Style: gtk2

@peter
It should be available

After some thought I've decided to switch to a different Windows player (MusicBee). I feel it will have better support (well it hasn't been updated in a while so we'll see) and has more of the features I want.

I used to be an Linux user and I'm happy that these user have a quality player (Strawberry) they can use. I wish you all the best.
