@sebastjava I am using the mute on the Strawberry icon on my toolbar. I think I saw someone else post about this same issue.

The skip doesn't happen here with a 10-second mute. I have to have it on mute for a few minutes at least. When it skips it sounds like it is playing the track very fast. It's unintelligible noise. Sometimes it skips only a short time and others it skips all the way to the end of the track. I can reproduce it at will. As far as I can recall, Strawberry has always done this on my system.

While playing with mute I noticed that it does not mute right away. Sometimes it takes 10 seconds or more for the sound to stop. I don't know why I never noticed that before.

I turned off the analyzer and played with mute some more. Sometimes when I mute the sound would stop right away and the slider at the bottom of the screen would stop moving. No way to tell if it was playing since it was muted. After I unmuted it didn't start playing again so I click the stop button and then play and it started to play again. Later I repeated the process but this time I went to do something else and after a short time It started playing.

This is that big of a deal. I have been living with it since I started using Strawberry. I and the other person that mentioned the skipping may be the only people using the mute switch.

Fedora Linux release 34
Mate Desktop.

When Strawberry gets to the end of a playlist when it is set to repeat I would like to have the option to reload the list before starting over.

When I mute Strawberry and later unmute it skips rapidly through the track. It does not always skip the same amount but it always skips some.

I have seen this mentioned before, but could not find the posting.

@golfprofred Glad, I could help.

Strawberry Version 1.0.2
Fedora release 34

It has always been there for me. I use it every day.

@golfprofred When I right-click on the Strawberry taskbar icon there are the controls.

Blues mostly.

@biffster I have had the same experience.

@oldwood I snd set it to loop (repeat playlist) this way, a track gets played once per loop.

I'm pretty sure I remember haven this issue with Clementine too.

@leifbk You can use"" in a file name in Linux. I just created these three files using different methods. That said I don't think having a "" in a filename is a good idea.

@oldwood I have noticed the same behavior. I load my list and then shuffle the list and let it play through.

@jonas Thanks.

@jonas Does Strawberry use the Chromaprint method?

@poppop I have "Finger Printing and Tracking" turned on.

Does Strawberry write something to the files each time they are played?

So no one has an answer to this question?

@rakham You can import the data from Clementine. The instructions are here in the forum. I did it.

Exactly what does "Song Fingerprinting and Tracking" do?

I understand the concept. However, I would like to know some details.

Does Strawberry use the same system as MusicBrainz Picard?

@rlkeeney

I restored from a backup done on 31 December 2021.

It looks good so far. I only lost around 150 ratings.

One thing I never liked about storing data in the files was how long it took to run a backup every file I listened to was changed and got backed up. So I'm going to do the fingerprinting run a backup and see how that goes.
