It looks like the path is cut short. Maybe it has to do with some special characters in the path, or the length of the path.
Can you copy and paste the entire path here, right click on the affected song in the playlist and select "Copy URL(s)...", then use CTRL + V to paste the URL here.

I completely agree! "Beats-per-minute" is a crucial filter tag, especially for projects or discussions involving audio processing, heart rate monitoring, or tempo adjustments. It helps categorize and streamline the search for relevant content, making it easier for others to find and contribute to related topics. Adding this tag would definitely enhance organization and accessibility.

Fortunately, it seems nobody broke their systems with the script. If there's no need of improvements, I'll put it on hold as a proof of concept, along with the attempts to the interspersed-track variants. Comments on this are welcome anytime.

For newer testers:

cd ~/tmp wget -O testscript https://pastebin.com/raw/Y2GxuzaY dos2unix testscript chmod a+x testscript less testscript # ---> mind the configurable countdown_step echo ; echo ./testscript -h

@flameche Follow the instructions from @overdress188 but change everything to qt5ct instead. That worked for me

I don't think the maintainers of AUR are active on this forum so it's probably better to report this to AUR directly.

It doesn't feel right to fill this thread with noise. Continuing in General Discussion: https://forum.strawberrymusicplayer.org/topic/5717/gaps-between-tracks

I Just tested adding a SMB drive on macOS 15.1.1 Sequoia, and it works fine here.

Make sure Network volumes is added for Strawberry under Security / Files & Folders

@TakeFive sorry for my question I found the option in strawberry settings to maximize window by start 🙂 thank u so much for quick answer and willingness to help anyway ❤

@synth_mania

I agree, your expected behavior would be the perfect way. But since this is an operation that's not a day-to-day thing, how about a kludgy workaround? Organize your songs alphabetically, and transfer in several smaller batches, based on letters of the alphabet, e.g., A-F, etc.

Hello,

Other users including me have had the same thought. I know some C++, so I will attempt to add more customization to the collection view in the coming months.

I am a student and I am quite busy, so I cannot promise anything yet.

Cheers,

@etyloppihacilem I'm wondering if we potentially ran into the same problem. See my post.

@leo
Can you try the latest (currently 1.2.3-43) from https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/debian/trixie/ and see if it fixes this crash.

Nevermind, I'm a complete idiot and i forgot that's the album I duplicated to test TakeFive's suggestion.

I'm just a dork.

Thanks again everyone for your time and help.

Happy New Year!!!

About the aforementioned playlist behavior with cue sheets: now it correctly moves to the next track, but sometimes, after having played one from a regular file, it doesn't start the next one from a cue sheet, just stops playing.

When this has happened, Strawberry was not the active window; it had been some time without user interaction. The media files of the stopped tracks were both flac and mp3. I'll report if I find more info.

By the way, thanks also for fixing the UTF-8 encoding.

Just wanted to weigh in here to see if I could supply any useful info. I have been a Linux user for a long time and have just switched to Strawberry from Guayadeque, which is no longer maintained. I have a CD collection of about 1000 discs so I like to be able to sort things to my tastes to make searching easier

I have never used my music player to rip - maybe since you are coming from IOS that might be a feature of iTunes which is something you are used to? I have no experience with IOS except for a brief ownership of an iPod that totally rearranged my mp3 collection. Apple has there own way of doing things...

I have always used another program to rip my CDs. A portion of my CD collection had a been ripped on Windows using Exact Audio Copy (I rip everything to FLAC) and later imported those files into Linux. Up until Strawberry it had been a bit of a mess, mostly due to genre tags being inconsistent and wonky. I have been updating my collection with the recent change to Strawberry and things have never been neater.

Here are some Linux tools that I use to rip - Asunder, RipperX. I don't mind ripping with a different program, it allows me edit and check the files before they get added to my main collection

The collection editor built into Strawberry is powerful (right click, edit track information...). You can batch edit entire artist folders as well as individual albums and tracks. There is also an auto complete function which uses some database (not sure which) to fill out all fields. This may help.

In the "re-grooming" of my CD collection I have also been using several Tag editors. Puddletag is awesome, Kid3-qt is also useful. Picard Music Brainz may help in look up and auto-fill a but it's not super intuitive. Again, as I am finishing up sorting my CD collection I am just using the editor in Strawberry.

I am a new user to Strawberry like you and I am very happy with it so far, it does a lot of things really well - check out Smart Playlists. The only thing I miss is browsing via cover art - in Windows I used Album Player and in Linux I used Guayadeque (Lollypop is another cover art based player but I had issues with genre tags that made it unusable).

Finally, just a word of caution: you may want to drag a few of your collection folders to the desktop to experiment before going at the full collection.

Hope this helps you get your music sorted.
