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!

@mrbluebudo
check the old version at github
curl -O -L https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/releases/download/1.1.3/strawberry_1.1.3-jammy_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i strawberry_1.1.3-jammy_amd64.deb

sudo apt --broken install

@rikosi While this isn't exactly what you're looking for, enabling the moodbar feature and setting it to be displayed in the track progress bar does communicate what the track sounds like visually and lets you scrub through it. It does help signify changes to the track like the drop and quiet parts, although it's not quite as easy to interpret as a waveform.

This is a feature I would use too, but for different reasons. I've got an Unsorted/Untagged folder which is mostly just a mess. I also keep my Classical music in a separate folder since It needs to be tagged and handled differently.

I had lots of problems with the FlatPak version 1.0.23.

I'm still running Linux Mint 21.1 Vera (base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy).
When I realized how out of date the package was, I installed from repository.
https://linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-strawberry-on-ubuntu-linux/

Then I had to move my library and all data to the newer location.

In the old FlatPak version, the following were in ~/.var/app/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry
albumcovers/
collectionalbumcovers/
strawberry.db
strawberry.db.bak

I uninstalled the FlatPak version of strawberry then installed newer version (1.1.3), from repository, as above.
Then I moved those db files and folders to ~/.local/share/strawberry/strawberry/

And everything works for me.

Good luck!

I have had luck using touch to update the modified date of the artist folder. When I invoke "Update changed collection folders", it then seems to scan all albums and song within.

songs_fts

Newer versions do not use songs_fts, did you downgrade strawberry to an old release?

That did the trick! Downloaded the latest Ubuntu deb file (I'm running Linux Mint) and installed it and all is well now!

There must've been a package downgrade when I did the upgrade from Mint 21.3 to Mint 22.1. I believe it does sometimes downgrade packages t what is in the Mint Repos to help prevent issues so that must be what happened.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

@jonas I unmounted it, but the error still occured. I couldn't find anything else that seemed to be using it. Any other ideas?
