@new_user Right-click on the column header and add the rating column from the list, then click the stars.

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.

@asenz I have the same problem on linux. It appears to be an issue with the Pipewire output. Some more searching finally led me to:

https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1668

tl;dr: Change the output to PulseAudio, and the problem should go away (assuming you have pipewire-pulse installed).

@jonas Perfect, thanks

@Camber
Edit ~/.config/strawberry/strawberry.conf with a text editor (like Kate), and delete the entire [SerializedSmartPlaylists] section.

@WeeGerGai sorry for the necroposting but i would also love to see this be implemented, their database of (unsynced) lyrics is pretty massive compared to all the other lyric services that strawberry currently supports, and their website (https://lrclib.net) has good insight on its own API and how to implement it.
