Strawberry for ARM64: Playlists and Starting Time Issues
-
Hello!
I am sponsoring Strawberry Music Player for Mac ARM64 and cannot recommend it enough for any OS it supports. It has essentially replaced iTunes for my daily music needs, at least within our home.
I have two minor issues to report for your consideration.
-
When trying to import a multitude of songs into a playlist (say, more than 500) sometimes it skips songs. Bringing them in 50 at a time solves this.
-
Often, Strawberry does not start playback at 00:00.000. I'm working on establishing what the frame offset is, but I can confirm it's consistent whether it's the Mac mini's internal speaker, the 3.5mm jack, or my TOSLink-over-USB output. Also, this happens (rarely) when moving from one song to the next where there is no gap. (The Mac mini is an M2 running Ventura 13.6.3.)
Other than those two issues, I am loving it!
Thank you!
