@Sharky-PI TagLib can read any tags. It's easy to do

@StrawberryAR
You need to add the folders to the collection in Settings / Collection. And make sure "Monitor the collection for changes" is checked.

Transparency isn't supported for custom background images.

I had to remove it since Genius changed their web pages, many times it was showing only partially lyrics, and Genius keeps changing their web pages, continuously breaking the lyrics parsing. It's also pretty messy to parse HTML instead of using an API.
It's not possible to get full lyrics from the Genius API, and their search is also very bad, so I finally just decided to just remove it.

@friTTe
What OS and version of Strawberry is this?

I'm aware of an issue with the playlist row colors on Windows using the windows11 style. You can change the style in Settings / Apperance / Style, set the style to windowsvista, or turn of the alternating row colors like already suggested.

@Cecu
Most likely the other application is registered as URL handler for tidal instead of strawberry.
Open a terminal and type:

xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/tidal

To find which application is registered for Tidal.
If it's another application you can temporary remove that desktop file (usually in /usr/share/applications/).
Also make sure that the desktop file for strawberry is correctly installed (org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry.desktop).

ASIO worked last time I checked, but not without resampling the audio.
It's a high priority to fix this.

@Darkness-Twisty
It works here with the latest release 1.2.11, if you got an option for "OAuth", it's an older release of Strawberry, the latest OAuth is always being used.
Strange errors might happen if there is a incompatible client id used.

It looks fine, you already have the PPA repository.

@AOWOL
OSD Pretty doesn't work with Wayland so it's disabled in the settings if you are on Wayland.

@rlkeeney
It doesn't save last played to the file, only to the database.

@Sharky-PI
It should save playcounts when the song is finished playing when the "Save playcouints to song tags when possible is checked". But there are cases where it could fail, especially on Windows where the file might be locked for writing when it's being played.
Also, not all formats supports saving playcounts, the ones supported are FLAC, WavPack, APE, Ogg, MP3, MP4 and MPC.
The option "overwrite database ... when songs are re-read" option allows you to edit rating and playcounts from other program and strawberry normally re-reads them when modified as long as the mtime of the file is changed, without that option it will ignore any changes to the rating or playcount and only keep the one stored in the database.

@justsomedude

If you install using the .deb file, you have to manually install for every update.
Linux Mint 22.1 is compatible with Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble), so you can use the PPA package repository (https://launchpad.net/~jonaski/+archive/ubuntu/strawberry) to get updates.

Debian and Ubuntu based distros are usually late in updating to newer libraries and programs. If you are like me, and do not like this, it's better to switch to a different distro, I'd recommend Fedora for versioned yearly released version, they update programs like Strawberry continuously even before a new version of the distro, or openSUSE for rolling release distro for continuous updates of everything.

Released version 1.2.10 now where this should be fixed.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed Discord rich presence showing bogus artist and album.
• Fixed incorrect ID3v2 comment tag.
• (macOS|Windows MSVC) Fixed stuck playback of some streams.

Enhancements:

• Removed Genius lyrics (no longer working properly because of website changes).
• (macOS|Windows MSVC) Added back Spotify

It's because ID3v2 doesn't have it's own frame for "comment", it uses COMM (commercial frame: https://id3.org/id3v2.3.0#Commercial_frame) so there is a bunch of other stuff stored there too, and strawberry was just reading everything except iTunNORM and picked the first one it found, but there are other tags stored there by iTunes.
I simplified this to only use the first COMM frame without description as comment, this should hopefully fix it: https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/commit/bd9771a88f111134cf10ea6efe901e0ebf90d8dd

@strawt
I notice that the appindicator is installed in /home/tony/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, maybe the extension needs to be updated or reinstalled after upgrading to Fedora 42 and a new Gnome version?
I suggest to ask Fedora or Gnome, they probably know this better.
