      Hi Jonas, I have just joined GitHub and the Strawberry Music Player Forum to help support your Mac efforts as the need for a Mac/ARM version is urgent in my opinion. The Apple Music App is simply atrocious in so many ways.

      While I'm not yet at all familiar with GitHub or the forum I found this request for help with a Mac Mini.
      I was wondering if you managed to get enough fund for this project and if not how short you are ?

      Please let me know

      I'm not really able to subscribe to a regular donation as I no longer have a regular consistent income but I can find my way for a one off donation to help with this project and potentially ongoing donations towards the ARM version just not monthly.

        3 users have paid, and still only 5 users in total, not counting you.

          @jonas that is a pretty poor show so far, I would have thought more people would have wanted a Mac/ARM version. It would suit me better personally (for anonymity reasons) if I bought one and sent it to you unopened, is that an option ? If not, I could do paypal it would just need to be a few smaller amount transactions over a week or two

            That's an option if you really want to donate one, it would sure speed things up. I'll send you my address in private.

              I have received a mac mini from @MarvinTM1, I've integrated the build on it in GitHub Actions, so it automatically publishes development builds.
              But running them unsigned seem to be a nightmare, macOS says they are corrupt, so I've signed up for a Apple developer account so I can sign them (cost me circa 100$ per year), however I could not get automatic signing to work, so the development builds will be unsigned, I will manually build and sign official releases.
              The macOS downloads will be located here: https://downloads.strawberrymusicplayer.org/
              Development builds for arm64 (M1/M2) are already ready, and they seem to work, but they are not signed, so a bit difficult to get macOS to run them.
              For now it will be restricted to sponsors, $5 per month, but I won't be too strict on this, so if you for some reason can't pay $5 just send me an message anyway and I'll consider adding you.
              I will also make exceptions to this for users who have sponsored for a long time in the past, or have helped the project in some way.

                @jonas Those are excellent news! MarvinTM1 was really charitable by buying you a whole Mac computer just to continue with the Strawberry builds. Have fun! And be patient, I know from experience macOS can be tricky...

                  I found that the e-mail (support@strawberrymusicplayer.org) wasn't working, it's fixed now, so if you sent an e-mail already, please send it again.

                    Jonas, is this still considered an active project?

                    I run Strawberry on an M2 in Rosetta mode and have no issues, but I would love to have a native build, and I would not mind donating or sponsoring to maintain that status.

                    Thank you,
                    -Antonin

                      Yes, just send an e-mail to the support address once you've paid and I'll make a login for you.
