Strawberry Music Player
|
|
=======================
|
|
README
|
|
|
|
Strawberry is a modern audio player and music collection organiser. It was forked from Clementine in 2013, and has a diffrent goal.
|
|
It's written in C++ and Qt5 and runs on Linux. The name is inspired by the band Strawbs.
|
|
The main goal was to create a player for playing local music files that looked a bit more like Amarok 1.4 amd with advanced soundcard options.
|
|
You will find that Strawberry is lacking internet services and some other features found in Clementine.
|
|
|
|
Some differences between Strawberry and Clementine are:
|
|
|
|
- Status widget similar to context in Amarok 1.4
|
|
- Settings have been reorganized
|
|
- Advanced backend settings with support for several backends and advanced options
|
|
- No Smart playlists, visualizations or cd ripping support
|
|
- No LastFM, podcast or internet features except for fetching album covers
|
|
|
|
There are no plans to add internet streaming features, but if we would add something it has to be a service providing high quality audio and not low audio quality like Spotify.
