🍓 Strawberry Music Player

Strawberry is a music player and music collection organizer. It is a fork of Clementine released in 2018 aimed at music collectors, audio enthusiasts and audiophiles. The name is inspired by the band Strawbs. It's based on a heavily modified version of Clementine created in 2012-2013. It's written in C++ and Qt 5.

Tidal and Qobuz streaming in Strawberry is unofficial. You need an official API token (or App ID/Secret) to use it, we can not provide API tokens, or help getting them. Tidal will not work with Tidal Masters (MQA), because MQA is a proprietary format in lossy quality without an open source decoder, we can't support it.

It has so far been tested to work on Linux, OpenBSD, macOS and Windows.

We do not provide releases for macOS, only experimental builds, they may have issues. There currently isn't any macOS developers actively working on this project.
