🍓 Strawberry Music Player

Strawberry is a audio 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.

❗ Requirements

To build Strawberry from source you need the following installed on your system with the additional development packages/headers:

• GLib, GIO and GObject
• POSIX thread (pthread) libraries
• CMake and Make tools
• GCC or clang compiler
• Protobuf library and compiler
• Boost development headers
• Qt 5 with components Core, Gui, Widgets, Concurrent, Network and Sql
• Qt 5 components X11Extras and DBus for Linux/BSD, MacExtras for macOS and WinExtras for Windows
• SQLite3
• TagLib 1.11.1 or higher
• Chromaprint library
• ALSA library (linux)
• DBus (linux)
• PulseAudio (linux optional)
• GStreamer, Xine, VLC, Deezer or Phonon

Optional dependencies:

• Audio CD: libcdio
• MTP devices: libmtp
• iPod Classic devices: libgpod
• iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV devices: libimobiledevice, libplist and libusbmuxd

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

Deezer streams with full songs are encrypted and only urls for preview streams (MP3) are exposed by the API. Full length songs requires the use of deezers own engine (Deezer SDK). The Deezer SDK can be found here: https://build-repo.deezer.com/native_sdk/deezer-native-sdk-v1.2.10.zip
