@esophagus3289 said in I could not find the terminal code for installing Fedora or Almalinux. Can you help me? And . It's listed as free on Alternativeto. The download page asks for a "tip". Is it paid for Windows?:

This is not a bug. It's just about information that is not on the github page and not on the wiki page. I didn't manage to download it on Windows 11, so I installed WSL, I installed Almalinux.
I will install Strawberry on Almalinux 9 Cli OS. I don't know if Strawberry is available in the store. I can't open the GUI store because it's Cli. I want to install it (not compile) but I don't know the installation code.
"sudo dnf install strawberry" Is it true?
There is no information about this on your github page and wiki page. Can you add the information?

And

It's listed as free on Alternativeto. The download page asks for a "tip". Is it paid for Windows? Is the information in Alternativeto wrong? When I select free and Windows from the filters, Strawberry is listed. Should Alternativeto be corrected?
Free for Windows or $20?
If it is free, I couldn't find where and how to download it. Can you help me?

Expected behavior
If it is paid, the filter in alternativeto should be edited.
If it is free, it should be explained how and where we can download it.

It's $5 a/month sponsorship or $20 for one version, it's explained on the website: https://strawberrymusicplayer.org/#download
Since we have nothing to do with AlternativeTo, you need to report it there, but "Free" can also refer to "Free Software" as in freedom, not cost.

@jonas - sorry for all the replies --

I figured out how to solve the issue. I vaguely remembered skimming past a comment somewhere that the flatpak version of Strawberry had some kind of issue (and I had downloaded the flatpak). So I uninstalled that, and got the 'true' version via the terminal.

This time, when I added my external drive to the directory, the file path actually looked normal... so that was a good sign. I rebooted the pc, ran Strawberry... and sure enough -- the library remained, and I was able to play songs as expected.

So, TL;DR for anyone stumbling onto this thread with the same issue I had - uninstall the Strawberry flatpak and get it direct from the terminal. I followed the steps on this link: https://linuxcapable.com/how-to-install-strawberry-music-player-on-linux-mint/
... and get the normal/stable version.

They voted to the delete the article. No-one added any reliable sources and the article was stripped for content by the same guy who nominated it for deletion.
The links on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Strawberry_(software) for "sources" points to "strawberry software", which obviously does not find much relevant for "Strawberry Music Player".
I think there are more references available than many other music players which has a wkipedia page, but I believe this is a result of the article being named incorrectly in the first place and lacking sources, no-one actually pointed to them in the time it was up for discussion.

I've been using Strawberry for a couple of weeks, and the only thing that's missing is a simple delimiter option for multi-genre support, will this ever be added?

Any news on those suggestions? While trying out Strawberry those were more or less the things that I noticed also.
Especially the wasted space when not using the analyser and not being able to hide the menu bar.
When the analyser bar is not used, couldn't the space be used for the progress bar / moodbar?

It's known issue (https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Known_Issues), it probably happens in your case because the connection gets interrupted.

@Popmartijn said in Group by Album function not working correctly:

Hi,

I've noticed that for a while (certainly since 1.1.1) that the Group by Album functionality is not working correctly. Though I understand the rationality behind making separate entries for artists in the situation that two (or more) artists have the same album name (Live or Greatest Hits) it makes the overview unworkable with compilations. Can the functionality please be returned so that Group by Album again has one entry for each album name? In addition there might then be a category like Group by Album/Artist where under an album entry you can then see which artists have albums by that name in case you want to specifically play Greatest Hits by Billy Joel and not have Greatest Hits by Queen included.

You should be able to work around this by either setting a album artist for the specific album, if it's compilation album you could set this to the same as the album name.
Other alternative is to right click and select "Show in various artists", that will mark the album as a compilation and it should no longer split into separate albums.

Furthermore, I noticed (certainly since version 1.2.6) that in the sorting of the albums in the Group by Album category the sorting doesn't disregard any leading articles (like A or The) anymore. This also seems like a step back to me, to find The Complete Collection, The Joshua Tree or The Seeds Of Love located under T instead of C, J and S respectively. Is this also intentional? And if so, can there be an option to disregard it, like the option available for artists.
Thank you.

It was done intentional. The "Skip leading articles when sorting artist names" option in the collection was previously applied to album names too, since this was incorrect according to the name of the option, I changed it to only apply to artists, but I can make a separate option for albums too.

I didn't see any requests for it in Crowdin, but I've added them now so they should be available right now.

I'm new to Strawberry and have the same problem with different album versions. I think this would be a great addition. My current solution for this is to add the catalog number to the grouping field and set it as the third grouping parameter. It would be much easier to add this as a grouping tag and I kinda expected this would already be possible.

Another super happy user here, taking advantage these days of "Song fingerprinting and tracking"; and remembering the days when that feature didn't exist and how the internal playlists got ruined after renaming files or directories. This is so good... Thank you!

Long live Strawberry!

I can confirm this, just tested on Linux with HTTP/2, stuck on buffering after 54 seconds into the song when playing a tidal track.
I'm guessing there is regression in one of the recent libsoup versions. I will do some more testing when I have more time.
Luckily the default in Strawberry is still to force off HTTP/2 for streaming unless you manually check the HTTP/2 option in the settings.

@euriloco
Album covers are stored in a special way on the iPod, so Strawberry does not show album covers under devices, if that's what you mean. Strawberry should however store album covers when copying songs to the iPod, but personally I did not get those to show on the iPod, however, I know it worked for others.
