I don't understand what the issue is, do you get an error when adding more songs? What OS and version of strawberry?

@firutoddo
It's pretty much how you explain it, it's up to you how long you subscribe or how often you want to pay for a release.

@max
It's not normal, try setting the notifications to disabled under Tools / Settings / notifications, in case the native desktop notifications triggers system sounds.

@Kmasx
Did you try to pass CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the directory where KDSingleApplication-qt6Config.cmake is located like the message suggests?

@mike_jones not sure how you can call it a bargain. If you actually pay to keep the player updated on windows or mac it might be the most expensive consumer media player on market at $60/yr and @jonas doesn't event take feature requests.

I like the player a lot but the pricing is wild.

It's a known bug with FLAC, there is a workaround for it: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1422
But it should only affect FLAC.

I've managed to fix this issue for myself by overriding Strawberry to use custom avenc_aac settings.

I created a write up here: https://gist.github.com/jvgomg/38089836f8f47aa6dcf628edac0dec08

The ultimate solution would be to fix some issues with how transcoding settings work in Strawberry, and to have a build of FDK-AAC on your system. But getting avenc_aac working with higher bitrate sounds pretty good to me!

@terriz

You can pass the following to cmake:

-DENABLE_TIDAL=OFF -DENABLE_QOBUZ=OFF -DENABLE_SPOTIFY=OFF -DENABLE_SUBSONIC=OFF

@kgrass
It looks like a missing gstreamer plugin, do you have an example for a URL that doesn't work?

@crakila
There is an option in Tools / Settings / Scrobbler: "Show dialog for errors".

Never mind, updated to latest version and it's fine now!

@Ohnochao said in Pay for the newest verison?:

i really don't like this change, it honestly feels like they're intentionally screwing us over for using windows (even though i use both windows and linux, it still feels like they are dogpiling on all of us)
i just hope they lift it soon.

@Eddie_Spectral said in Pay for the newest verison?:

@jonas You cry for no contributions but then you make a year/monthly suscription. WTF? Put a mandatory single payment, man!!

Fellas there are multiple repos out there offerings the macos and windows versions for free. It is also relatively simple to copy the repo and use github to build them yourself if you so choose. There is no need to be rude to jonas.

Unfortunately this wasn't the right fix. After re-doing the procedure (with a full rescan in Clementine and a reset database in Strawberry) Strawberry duplicated every entry in my list.

Note that I have 36 directories in my library, the reason why this issue matters to me.

After pondering for a while I decided to compare table entries for a specific directory path from a song and then I noticed this:

clementine.db: table: column(s): songs directory: 45 directories rowid: 36 subdirectories rowid: 7 directory: 45 strawberry.db: table: column(s): songs directory_id: 45 directory_id: 36 (duplicate that appeared after rescan) directories rowid: 36 subdirectories rowid: 36 directory_id: 45 rowid: 72 directory_id: 36 (duplicate that appeared after rescan)

I think the issue is that Clementine seems to associate songs->directory with subdirectories->directory while Strawberry associates directory_id with directories->rowid.

Unfortunately my sql skills are very rusty so I didn't want to spend even more time trying to come up with a fix. Instead I opted for a different procedure:

Removed strawberry.db and Strawberry cache directory, start Strawberry and exit to reset the database. Migrated the directories table (using sql because of efficiency.) Copied over album covers. Started Strawberry again, did a full rescan, then exit. Used this script by Rolf to import song statistics and ratings:
https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/topic/113/import-ratings-from-other-players-esp-clementine Started Strawberry again and did full rescan again.

After creating a playlist with the 'All tracks' smart playlist the total song count was almost the same. A minor discrepancy was caused by a corrupt file name (which broke the scan of one directory) and a few corrupted media files. But that's easy to fix.

i(Btw. I didn't care about migrating playlists since I've got only a hand full of smart playlists which I can easily recreate manually.)
