I've found solution. After updating fedora 41 to 42, extension "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" stopped working because it has not been updated yet to support Fedora 42. This extensions is responsible adding the support for tray icons. After installing the newest version from another source and enabling it I'm able to run Strawberry in background.

@jonas "date" was a spell check error I didn't catch.

@jonas fabulous stuff, sorted, cheers mate

Thank you for the information. As a new Linux user I think I want to stay away from rolling release for now. I believe that using a distro like Mint will give me stability while I learn. Maybe I'm incorrect. I do plan on checking out Fedora later on though!

A follow up if you don't mind. Prior to your reply I installed the debian package for Ubuntu from the Strawberry website. I noticed that it added a PPA on its own, but it is different from the one you posted. Should I remove the existing source, and add the one that you posted? Screenshot below.

I notice that the appindicator is installed in /home/tony/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, maybe the extension needs to be updated or reinstalled after upgrading to Fedora 42 and a new Gnome version?
I suggest to ask Fedora or Gnome, they probably know this better.

You need to enable it under Tools / Settings / Notifications

Linux Distro: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon 6.4.8

I was also running into this today. Have to set album art twice for every album, since the first never applies correctly.
I'm editing audio files with no metadata so I've been adding song name, artist, and album info before searching for and applying the album art, then saving.

Sometimes it appears to have stuck, and then I'll see the song again later and the album art has reverted back to what it was before I changed it, which seems to be an image randomly chosen from the album art directory.

Flatpak is not just a version, it's a completely different packaging system on it's own which makes strawberry run in a sandbox environment, all features might not work and there might be restrictions such as permissions. I do not recommend it.
Linux Mint 22.1 is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), so you can use the PPA package repository (https://launchpad.net/~jonaski/+archive/ubuntu/strawberry) to get updates.

There isn't a sync with mobiles (where does it say that?), but you can manually copy or delete songs from a mobile phones supporting the MTP protocol. If you go on the the devices tab and double click to connect it, then you can go on the collection tab, right click on songs and select "Copy to device". In the the device tab you can delete songs by right clicking.

There isn't any help documents.

I find it a little troubling that you mention maintaining a list of usernames and passwords. You’re not actually storing anyone’s passwords, are you? This doesn’t sound secure.

@paul2berry I thought I tried that . It did work as I wanted.
Thanks so much.

@jonas you are a gem thank you so much!

@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!

@PeterB Sorry!! Strawberry Ver 1.2.7, Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS.
