Strawberry Music Player
=======================
README
Strawberry is a audio player and music collection organizer. It was forked from Clementine in 2013 with a diffrent goal.
It's written in C++ and Qt 5 and runs on Linux. The name is inspired by the band Strawbs.
Features:
* Play and organize music
* Edit tags on music files
* Album cover art from Lastfm, Musicbrainz, Discogs and Amazon
* Native desktop notifications
* Playlists in multiple formats
* Transfer music to iPod, iPhone, MTP or mass-storage USB player
* Support for multiple backends
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.

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