Thanks @ash-pi. I can confirm that the "Compiling-on-Debian" instructions work very well on Raspberry Pi 4. It took a while to scan my library over wifi, but everything seems to work nicely.

Now i will use Strawberry all day long

Me too. It wasn't obvious how to play streams and I was about to put Strawberry in the "check back in a few months" box. However, with fantastic library management AND the ability to play streams, Strawberry is now my go to player. Replacing foobar on Windows and Clementine on Linux.

Two comments. First, almost anything is a better alternative to Windows Media Player. Ugh.

Second, Raspberry Pi doesn't have many options for good music players unless you use some kind of specialized OS designed just for media. I know this because I just spent several days trying everything in the repo. In the end, I landed on installing Exaile from source. I'll be curious to hear how difficult it is to compile Strawberry from source on an RPi.
