Strawberry Music Player

README

Strawberry is a audio player and music collection organizer. It is a fork of Clementine created in 2013 with a diffrent goal. It's written in C++ and Qt5. The name is inspired by the band Strawbs.

Features:

  • Play and organize music
  • Native desktop notifications
  • Playlists in multiple formats
  • Edit tags on music files
  • Fetch tags from MusicBrainz
  • Album cover art from Lastfm, Musicbrainz, Discogs and Amazon
  • Support for multiple backends
  • Transfer music to iPod, iPhone, MTP or mass-storage USB player

You can obtain and view the sourcecode on github at: https://github.com/jonaski/strawberry

It has so far been tested on Linux and cross compiled for Windows. I have not had a chance to test it on Mac OS X since I don't have a mac.

Requirements

To build Strawberry from source you need the following installed on your system:

  • glib2, glib2-devel, git, cmake, make, gcc and gcc-c++

  • protobuf and development packages

  • boost development headers

  • The following Qt5 components are required with additional development packages: Qt5Core, Qt5Widgets, Qt5Network, Qt5Sql, Qt5Xml, Qt5OpenGL, Qt5Concurrent, Qt5Test, 5X11Extras, Qt5WebKit, Qt5WebKitWidget and Qt5DBus.

  • ALSA and libasound2 with development files

  • SQLite3 with development files

  • TagLib 1.8 or higher with development files

  • libchromaprint with development files

Either GStreamer, Xine or VLC engine is required, but only GStreamer is fully implemented so far. You should also install the gstreamer plugins: gstreamer-plugins-base, gstreamer-plugins-good and gstreamer-plugins-bad

  • The Qt5 specific LastFM library and development files are required for fetching album covers from LastFM.
  • To enable CD support for playing audio cd's you need libcdio.
