      It took me a few hours to scan my music library after activating EBU 128. I have more than 28 000 tracks.

      If I change my PC, can I save the database in .local/share/strawberry/strawberry/ to use it for a new installation ?

      The goal being to avoid a new complete EBU scan.

      Thank you for your opinions.

      For your information, it took me a long time to appreciate Strawberry (installation... un-installation... re-instalation) but now I am convinced of the quality of this player.

        Yes, that will work as long as the collection directory is the same, or at least a symblic link, you can find the database location here: https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_checkhttps://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_check
