@jonas Thank you so much!!!

Ha!!! So i tried the PPA thing you mentioned and it didn't work, not sure why.

However, I went back into the Software Manager and found that Strawberry shows up twice, once as 1.0.23 and once as 1.2.3. So I somehow obviously downloaded the wrong version.

I uninstalled 1.0.23 , installed 1.2.3 and did a system reboot.
Now it sees everything in the collection.

My only issue now is that for some reason, one of the albums is duplicated in the Collection.
When I search by File, the files are only there once, so I don't understand why it's duplicated in the collect. As far as I can tell it's only the one album.
I did both a collection rescan and an update to changed collection folders.

Here's a pic just for reference:

Than you again for all the help.

Nevermind, I'm a complete idiot and i forgot that's the album I duplicated to test TakeFive's suggestion.

I'm just a dork.

Thanks again everyone for your time and help.

Happy New Year!!!

@Gustavo-L-Conte Thanks.

I used EasyTag to check the metadata and 2 of the albums show "Dual Channel" as the mode other than stereo. That's the only difference I can find and it's not an editable field.

Not sure what else to look for, but everything else is filled in like the working files.

Thanks again & Happy New Year.

@TakeFive - Thanks for the advice.

I tried Clementine and everything is visible and plays on it.

As far as I can tell, all files are mp3's and formatted correctly.

I moved one of the folders to a band that 's already seen by Strawberry; did a rescan and reboot and still wasn't seen.

One of the artists was ripped via Windows Media Player and the other 2 by MediaMonkey.
The MediaMonkey files are named: "#-Artist-trackname.mp3". That's the only difference I could find.

When I open Strawberry I get the following errors:

Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Good Evening,

Sorry if this is a repeat. I tried searching for 20min and nothing came up.

I just added 4 new albums to my computer. I opened Strawberry and they're not there.
I rescanned the database twice. I closed Strawberry twice and rebooted the computer once.
Still they don't show up in my Collection.

Is there a size limit to how many files Strawberry can see?

Like I said, I searched about 10 different ways and couldn't find a similar thread to save my line.

Any suggestion on what I'm doing wrong?
Running version 1.0.23 (not sure why I'm not up to date) on Linux Mint 22.

Thanks & Happy Holidays!!! :):):)

OK, So i figured out that if I go into Nemo and do the following:
"Go to Edit > Preferences > Behavior and in Media Handling uncheck "Automatically mount removeable media when inserted and on startup"
Strawberry will see the music collection on the player.

However, when I try to build a playlist and save it to the device I get the error:
"Unable to Access M400/ Unable to open MTP device "001,021"

Any suggestions?
Thanks

@scubaboyc
Nevermind. I figured it out.

@MaverickGazer
I'm also running Linux Mint and can't seem to find this option.
Any idea on how to update this?

The error I'm getting is "Error connecting MTP device mtp://mediatek_m400_0123456789abcdef/?busnum=001&devnum=020".

Thanks.

So i bought it and when I try to open it, I get following error:
"Error connecting MTP device mtp://mediatek_m400_0123456789abcdef/?busnum=001&devnum=015"

I'm not sure what that means. Something tells me a setting on the player is not correct.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

@rlkeeney Yes it does.
I don't like playing it on my phone though.
I prefer a separate device for my music. I'm old that way
