@jonas fabulous stuff, sorted, cheers mate

They voted to the delete the article. No-one added any reliable sources and the article was stripped for content by the same guy who nominated it for deletion. The links on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Strawberry_(software) for "sources" points to "strawberry software", which obviously does not find much relevant for "Strawberry Music Player". I think there are more references available than many other music players which has a wkipedia page, but I believe this is a result of the article being named incorrectly in the first place and lacking sources, no-one actually pointed to them in the time it was up for discussion.

@EatTheRich said in About the new sort tags behavior: Dunno if this "sort tags" thing has been implemented yet, I use the latest version available on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. (Seems to be the latest release 1.2.19) It was implemented in 1.2.16: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases/tag/1.2.16. You can find the option to control it under Tools -> Settings -> Collection -> Use sort tags for sorting when available. If unchecked, "Billy Idol" would appear under the "B" names. If checked, it would appear under the "I" names. Thank you very much for implementing this, @jonas!

Testing has been completed and the app has been accepted into the Play Store

BPM and initial key are used heavily by DJ's and others who need to consider how music "builds" over time. A few examples: generally DJ's want BPM (tempo) to build over time so you don't go from a "fast" song to a bit slower one...even a slight drop in tempo can cause people to leave a dance floor. DJ's doing beat mixing use BPM to find songs of similar BPMs that may then mix together well. The tonal "key" of a song can also help with mixing songs together or to create smooth transitions. People exercising or running often find they like a certain tempo for running, another for cool down, etc. Here's an article to learn more: The Best Running Song BPM (and How to Find Your Running BPM) https://www.beachbodyondemand.com/blog/find-running-bpm

@scubaboyc Nevermind. I figured it out.

On the second comment in the issue I linked to, I'm describing what's failing. So yes, it's not working at all. There is no need for QA before it's fixed. All you need to do to test it yourself is to enable the open CD option in the menu. I have no plans to look into the issue again which is why I have disabled it, closed the issue and listed it as not supported in the features for Windows. To fix it or look into the issue you need to at least have a Windows PC setup up with a development environment, a debugger and a CD drive which is why I sent you the guide. It's on the bottom of the my TODO list. It's simply not a priority for me considering that most users aren't using strawberry for playing CD's. There are too many others things that needs to be done. Windows 10 is supported by Microsoft until 2025. All the libraries we use still work with Windows 10. Binaries can be built to work on both Windows 10 and 11 so there isn't more work to support 10. A ton of users are still on Windows 10. I see no reason to drop support for Windows 10 at this point. So I don't know how you came to that conclusion.

@erdbär great news! Thanks for the info

@jonas Tested the last build, indeed all the paragraphs are showing now! Thank you for your continued work!

@apprentice Like I already said, report it to FreeBSD. Someone from the BSD community needs to maintain the sndio plugin for GStreamer.

Strawberry can handle a huge music library that doesn't include many great songs and gives people the freedom to choose the songs that suit them.

I have had luck using touch to update the modified date of the artist folder. When I invoke "Update changed collection folders", it then seems to scan all albums and song within.

@jonas after a reinstall it is now working, just rightclicking the progression bar thanks for your help/your replies

@rik You can use a file sharing service such as dropbox or onedrive and send me the link in a private message on the forum.

@jonas - Working A1 for me so far. Keep up the good work

I think it would help if you start strawberry from a terminal, because then you see the files scanned, it might give a hint to what files take unreasonable time to scan.

Thanks, going into strawberry.conf and manually changing last_save_playlist did the trick.

Another super happy user here, taking advantage these days of "Song fingerprinting and tracking"; and remembering the days when that feature didn't exist and how the internal playlists got ruined after renaming files or directories. This is so good... Thank you! Long live Strawberry!

@jonas Hi, I'm using dark theme on macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and yes, these stripes are very hard on eyes. Spend a lot of time to find where I can turn them off, then found this topic. But there is no option for this in "Playlist" section on mac version. Experimental build tells "You have macOS 10.14.6. The application requires macOS 10.15 or later." Please help, I don't want to go back to iTunes
