I am running Strawberry 1.2.13 on Linux (I have reproduced this both on Gentoo and NixOS).

There are a few tracks in my music library where Strawberry fetches the wrong lyrics. For some of these, I have saved the correct lyrics in the Lyrics tab of the tag editor. After saving the correct lyrics, if I hit the Stop button and replay the track, the context menu now shows the correct, saved lyrics from the tag editor.

However, if I then restart Strawberry and replay this same track, the Context panel is again showing the wrong lyrics, even though the lyrics tab in the tag editor still shows the correct lyrics I saved earlier. If I click the "Save" button in the tag editor, and then restart the track it shows the saved lyrics, but I have to do this every time I restart Strawberry.

I assume it isn't supposed to work like this - is there anything I can change in the configuration so Strawberry always prefers the manually saved lyrics, if there are any?

@jonas Thanks. I am using PipeWire, but have the Strawberry backend set to Gstreamer, with output to a PulseAudio server. Changing the output to Alsa doesn't make any difference.

Hello,
I am running Strawberry 1.0.12 on gentoo linux. I am having a minor annoyance playing .flac files, with the equalizer enabled. Most of my flac tracks are of CD quality: 44100 Hz, 16 bit depth, ~700-1000 kbps. I have a few flac tracks that are much higher quality: 192000 Hz, 24 bit depth, ~5000 kbps.

When Strawberry transitions between playing these different quality flac tracks, the audio is clearly distorted. So if Strawberry begins playing a CD quality flac track, after playing a high quality track, the audio sounds high pitched, as if it has no bass.

If the transition is the other way around, and Strawberry plays a high quality flac track, after playing a CD quality track, the audio sounds sort of muffled.

In both cases, after hitting the Stop button, and re-starting the track, the audio is normal. Also, this only happens if the equalizer is enabled, and disabling/re-enabling the equalizer also restores normal audio.

Is this a bug, and is there some setting I can tweak to address this?
