@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

@rnd
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).

@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.

@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.

@jonas compiled the latest version, definitely works now, thank you very much!

@jonas StopForumSpam is very good but not sure it around anymore but here is website https://www.stopforumspam.com/

@jonas Ah,thanks. My problem is solved as well now. Installing the Qt TLS Plugin again makes Strawberry scrobble again. Now, I can ditch Rhythmbox again!

@msrex I checked this now. I see that there is a bug, not updating the song when disc is changed, but I see it's correctly updating when title and track is changed.
But I don't know if that bug could explain what you saw happening, it could happen if the song was ripped while strawberry was running, and disc was updated after the song was initially read from disc.
If you manually tagged the disc later, or the ripping program tagged it later.
If you see way to still reproduce the bug without updating the disc, I'd like to know so I can fix it.

@leo
Can you try the latest (currently 1.2.3-43) from https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/debian/trixie/ and see if it fixes this crash.

@MrDowntempo Personally what I like about strawberry is that it just works. Foobar is too much work to setup for a casual user to make it look good and make it functional!
