I've had this happened several times. I'm playing a playlist (local files), and when some track is finished, the player gets kind of stuck:

• The track that just played does not get its playcount increased
• The track that just played is still highlighted in the playilst
• The player shows the "stop" button, not "play"
• The progress bar is at 0:00
• Nothing is playing

If I click on stop and then play, the same track plays again, and when it finishes playback continues normally with the next track.

This happens for different tracks from different sources, so I don't think it's file-related. It's a bit random, but lately I think I've noticed it tends to happen after I've paused the playback (not every time I pause it happens, but every time it happens I have paused). The tracks are all in an USB hard drive, so that could be related.

Is this something someone else has noticed? Is it a known issue? Could there be an easy-to-identify and fix bug in the buffering?

I'm running Strawberry 1.0.17 on Kubuntu 22.04 (KDE desktop).

I'm no expert, but you'd probably need the rest of your equipment and software (at least until the signal is turned to analog) to support it, and even then it's doubtful there will be any difference (https://www.makeuseof.com/16-bit-vs-24-bit-audio/).

@tagomago Maybe this helps? https://github.com/projectM-visualizer/projectm

@apistoletov said in Is there a more-or-less standard convention for storing Language info in the (FLAC) tags?:

On the other hand, it's somewhat common to have songs in made-up languages which wouldn't have the language code, but is there any interest in supporting them?

You could use "mis", "und" or "zxx", depending on the case
