Strawberry is a free and opensource audio player for Linux, macOS and Windows (the binary distributions for macOS and Windows require a subscription or donation). It is a fork of the Clementine application. Strawberry is written in C++ using the Qt Framework and is maintained by Jonas Kvinge.
Overview
[edit]Strawberry is a music player and music collection organizer. It is aimed at music collectors and audiophiles. With Strawberry you can play and manage your digital music collection, or stream your favorite radios.
Strawberry has been ported to Qt 6 and is therefore available for the three major desktop operating systems. Most features and the user interface were taken over from Clementine or its origin Amarok and further developed.
