<![CDATA[Strawberry is a bargain]]>Seeing a number of complaints about Jonas basically putting Strawberry on a subscription model for Windows (it's been that way for Mac for a while), and I just want to say that I have zero problem paying $5/month for a music player that isn't perfect but does a lot more of what I want than anything else I've found. I've developed software for a living and have a good idea of how much work goes into something like Strawberry and I'm happy to support future development of it.

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.

Although Strawberry was conceived a fork of Celementine and Amarok, at this point, it's safe to say that the software has evolved into its own entity, given the number of functions added through the years.

In other words: Yeah, I agree. Is quite a bargain considering the hard work invested.
