If you are using Strawberry in Linux I can probably help. You would need to install qt6ct, which is the Qt6 Configuration Tool, if it is not already installed in your system.

With this utility you can choose what themes, icons, fonts, etc., that you wish your Qt applications to follow. Strawberry is built using Qt6.

I use Linux Mint, which uses GTK as its graphical toolkit, so this is what I have to do, and it works very well. The app appears as "Qt6 Settings" in my application menu.

If your Strawberry is installed as a Flatpak, I don't think the above method would work. I use Strawberry installed as a system package.

If you are using Windows or Mac, sorry, I don't have any advice. Good luck!

What about gapless playback in fast-menu? Maybe with auto-detection!

@rlkeeney Thank you. I'll experiment with the 50 percent value. I actually haven't noticed any audible artifacts on my system. This is more out of curiosity, to see if I notice any difference.

@lynkiii Have you looked at https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Main_Page#Troubleshooting ?

Ok, so I used a hex editor to change the api key and secret, still bails at around the same point . I suppose the page pulls are too agressive.

@new_user
Playcounts and ratings only work for collection songs. The songs aren't linked to the collection for some reason indicated by the "folder" icon, the collection songs should have a vinyl icon. Maybe you dragged the songs from a file manager or the file tab before the folders were added to the collectiob? You need to re-add the songs from the left collection panel, then it should work.

@rlkeeney
If you look at the screenshot, the rating column is already there.

I also have to re-tag my whole connection because wrong sorting.
I used to use Album artist + date to sort my albums from years I was iTunes user. But many albums also came pre-tagged.
The way I currently tag my albums is by putting the date in the album name sort field.
Problem: the sort fields are grayed out for certain file types, such as .m4a, even though these are sometimes tagged for sorting.
This is very annoying for bands with foreign names that start with an article, such as “Les Négresses vertes”: it is possible to sort .mp3 albums as “Négresses vertes,” but .m4a albums remain as “Les Négresse vertes” even when the sort tag does exist in the files.
The problem when editing outside of Strawberry now is that changes are sometimes not taken into account, even after restarting Strawberry and the PC.
I am running Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon.

@dustinhuman Bump please

@jonas I was using Libre.fm during the no registrations period and the site was still usable and everything worked, it was really slow during that time period but got much much better when registrations were opened back up, I would love to see Libre.fm support brought back as well

@jonas
Sorry for the late reply. I thought I would be notified by email if someone replied.

OK, I understand that the replay gain data is not displayed in Strawberry, but I have another reason to believe that it is not being applied at all : I mainly listen to randomized playlists with a large number of tracks, and the output volume varies significantly from one track to the next. I often have to adjust the volume manually, which I don't need to do in foobar2000, for example. To me, it really sounds like there is no replay gain at all. I also hear no difference when I set it on and off in the settings.

@trincowski I was going to mention that.

@jonas Thank you.

@musicamaster For the avoidance of doubt, are your audio files indexed as part of a collection, or are they simply in directories? They need to be part of a collection in order to be included in the DB structure. That DB is where many different fields are added, such as the play count.
