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.

- Transfer music to iPod, iPhone, MTP or mass-storage USB player
- Fetch tags from MusicBrainz
- 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.
