@DoraDora74 You can use the Ubuntu PPA (https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Ubuntu_PPA) for the latest release, or the equivalent Ubuntu Noble package: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases/download/1.2.31/strawberry_1.2.31-noble_amd64.deb

just in case anyone needs this later, here's my workaround: STRAWBERRY_PID=$(ps -C strawberry -o pid= 2>/dev/null | sed -e 's/ //g') ls -l "/proc/${STRAWBERRY_PID}/fd" | grep "<path to my music>" so I'm just getting the file descriptor of an open file in my music storage, opened by the strawberry process. not nice, but working, at least for files (not for streaming).

@jonas Yes, I do! Thank you!

Thanks jonas! That worked.

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

@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!

@jasmint I have exactly the same issue. It used to work fine until a couple of days ago when it was updated to version 1.2.30 (flatpack version is always late as it seems). So apparently I just need to wait for the next update ?

@rat120 Open a terminal and run gst-inspect-1.0 spotify I can't find that Linux Mint (which is basically Ubuntu) has gst-plugins-rs or GStreamer Spotify Plugin at all, I checked http://packages.linuxmint.com/ and https://packages.ubuntu.com/
