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.

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

macOS and Windows release is available on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/posts/strawberry-1-2-126956487).

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.

You need to enable it under Tools / Settings / Notifications

@PhilipL

Flatpak is not just a version, it's a completely different packaging system on it's own which makes strawberry run in a sandbox environment, all features might not work and there might be restrictions such as permissions. I do not recommend it.
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.

There isn't a sync with mobiles (where does it say that?), but you can manually copy or delete songs from a mobile phones supporting the MTP protocol. If you go on the the devices tab and double click to connect it, then you can go on the collection tab, right click on songs and select "Copy to device". In the the device tab you can delete songs by right clicking.

There isn't any help documents.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed subsonic parse error (#1719).
• Fixed Deezer cover provider parse error (#1716).
• Fixed last.fm import progress.
• (Windows|MinGW) Switched from winpthreads to win32 threads, winpthreads are no longer working with Qt as of version 6.9 (QTBUG-131892).

Enhancements:

• Added option to disable playbin3.

I correct myself, I don't think there is a release of gst-plugins-rs yet containing the required changes, so it needs to be the code from git.
Instructions here https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Installing_GStreamer_Spotify_plugin builds from git.

@idiotclock

Your version of gst-plugins-rs is too old, not updated for the Spotify changes requiring access token instead of username/password. I'm not exactly sure which version you need, since I don't see it in the changelog, but I think you need at least 0.13.4, the newest is currently 0.13.5.
You can build and install it from source:

@mike_jones
If a song does not appear in the collection try dragging the file from Finder to the playlist and see if it's added or you get an error.

@RallyDarkstrike said in SQL error when searching for any song/artist since last week?:

songs_fts

Newer versions do not use songs_fts, did you downgrade strawberry to an old release?

@mike_jones
Try giving Strawberry full disk access under System Settings / Security

@JoeyPajamas
Usually it's because the device is already mounted or accessed by another process.

@esophagus3289 said in I could not find the terminal code for installing Fedora or Almalinux. Can you help me? And . It's listed as free on Alternativeto. The download page asks for a "tip". Is it paid for Windows?:

This is not a bug. It's just about information that is not on the github page and not on the wiki page. I didn't manage to download it on Windows 11, so I installed WSL, I installed Almalinux.
I will install Strawberry on Almalinux 9 Cli OS. I don't know if Strawberry is available in the store. I can't open the GUI store because it's Cli. I want to install it (not compile) but I don't know the installation code.
"sudo dnf install strawberry" Is it true?
There is no information about this on your github page and wiki page. Can you add the information?

And

It's listed as free on Alternativeto. The download page asks for a "tip". Is it paid for Windows? Is the information in Alternativeto wrong? When I select free and Windows from the filters, Strawberry is listed. Should Alternativeto be corrected?
Free for Windows or $20?
If it is free, I couldn't find where and how to download it. Can you help me?

Expected behavior
If it is paid, the filter in alternativeto should be edited.
If it is free, it should be explained how and where we can download it.

It's $5 a/month sponsorship or $20 for one version, it's explained on the website: https://strawberrymusicplayer.org/#download
Since we have nothing to do with AlternativeTo, you need to report it there, but "Free" can also refer to "Free Software" as in freedom, not cost.
