I could not reproduce this.
Maye this is the same bug as https://github.com/strawberrymusicplayer/strawberry/issues/1535?

@andr3nio
Using 1.1.3 won't work, I made the change because Spotify dropped support for username and password.

There is a bug in the most recent versions, it should be fixed now, but I need to make a new release.
If you are on linux you can try the ones at https://builds.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

@npa
Yes, that will work as long as the collection directory is the same, or at least a symblic link, you can find the database location here: https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_checkhttps://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_check

@mipper
Maybe it's happening only when switching between MP3 and Ogg Vorbis songs, I'll try to reproduce it.

@msrex I checked this now. I see that there is a bug, not updating the song when disc is changed, but I see it's correctly updating when title and track is changed.
But I don't know if that bug could explain what you saw happening, it could happen if the song was ripped while strawberry was running, and disc was updated after the song was initially read from disc.
If you manually tagged the disc later, or the ripping program tagged it later.
If you see way to still reproduce the bug without updating the disc, I'd like to know so I can fix it.

@mipper
What settings do you have for the fading options in Settings / Backend?

@msrex
It's not updating when the sort text gets changed, I'll fix that. Thanks for reporting this.

If you group by artist only (or any grouping without album as the last group by), it should sort songs alphabetically, that's not working correctly, I've found the problem, fixing now.

@Psimon
I suggest to report the issue here: https://github.com/flathub/org.strawberrymusicplayer.strawberry/issues

In the latest code from git I switched to using access token for streaming with Spotify.
The gstreamer spotify plugin needs to be patched with https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/merge_requests/1801
I've updated the instructions here: https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Installing_GStreamer_Spotify_plugin
If someone with a subscription could test it would be great, thanks.

@James
There isn't a 1.023 version. What version are you using?
Songs are listed after their disc and track number, how did you do it alphabetically in the older version?

@idontknow
Well there is a Qt bug https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-124386 that causes program exit even when windows are still open. I'm not entirely sure but I think also Qt 6.6 is affected, if you look at the bug report they picked the fixes to both 6.5, 6.7 and 6.8, so I assume also Qt 6.6 is affected, but since it's not a LTS version it's end of life so it didn't get the fix.

Then I suggest to search for it, open a terminal and try the following command:

find ~ -type f \( -iname 'strawberry.db' -or -iname '*strawberry.plist' \) 2>/dev/null

Here's my result:

ni214:~ jonas$ find ~ -type f \( -iname 'strawberry.db' -or -iname '*strawberry.plist' \) 2>/dev/null
/Users/jonas/Library/Application Support/Strawberry/Strawberry/strawberry.db
/Users/jonas/Library/Preferences/org.strawberrymusicplayer.Strawberry.plist

@idontknow
I tested it and it crashed the first time, but I'm unable to reproduce the crash, if you can reproduce it, can you do a backtrace of the crash:

https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Backtrace

Strawberry reads files in it's own process (strawberry-tagreader), maybe Flatpak restricts file access on that process so it can't see the files.

@branvan3

Strawberry stores the collection directories, indexed songs and playlists in a database file called strawberry.db, it can be found in ~/Library/Application Support/Strawberry/Strawberry/
Most settings you configure in Tools / Settings is stored in the file ~/Library/Preferences/org.strawberrymusicplayer.Strawberry.plist
And there is also cached stuff in ~/Library/Caches/Strawberry/Strawberry/.

@mncroc
If you upgraded from an older release than 1.1.0 you need to setup the playlist columns again since they will be reset, they had to be reset because the setting is stored differently. Importing the old settings wasn't easy, and since it wasn't a critical setting I decided to just reset it.

@rlkeeney
This seems like a bug, but I can't reproduce it here...

Currently we use gettext for translations, which are converted to Qt translations on build.
I think it might be simpler to just use Qt translations (.ts) files in the source which are converted to .qm files on build, Crowdin also supports Qt .ts files.

Some advantages:

• Simplifies CMake files.
• We can use automoc.
• No longer need gettext utilities.

Are there any disadvantages?
