So Basic, I checked Wiki
-
Greetings All! New User (loser) to Strawberry and having zero experience with Clementine I have only the experience of other players to draw from. So I went looking for the beginners guide at the Wiki, Gubhub, man pages on my machine, and I skimmed the forum hoping to find that pinned post that I've come to look for but I'm not looking in the right spots or it was in front of my face (getting older so eyesight, etc), if anyone can guide me to the guide I thank you and sorry to interrupt.
Carry On,
Mr.B

I don't believe such a guide exists, at least not on the Strawberry Wiki.
I can offer a few basic suggestions for a beginner.
-
Strawberry plays music in playlists. No matter what the source of the song, it will always open in a playlist. Playlist management is too lengthy to get into here, but you can create, label, save and "favorite" playlists.
-
Strawberry can play from any folder on your computer by selecting "Files" in the sidebar.
If you go a step further and point Strawberry to a folder in Settings > Collection, it will show the songs as a "library" when selecting "Collection" in the sidebar.
I would hold off with using anything that says "Organzie Files" at first. (There are naming and sorting options that you may want to consider.)
-
Go through all the settings, slowly and methodically. Make a note of your changes so you can revert if necessary.
-
Use the tool-tip notes by hovering your cursor over icons, etc.
And use your right click to display the many options available.
