Minor warning about Strawberry Music Player:
If you are looking for a completely free local music player on windows or mac without paying, I’d skip this because both versions are tied to patreon last I checked. I know as a fact the windows version is, but not 100% sure on the mac version since I don’t have a mac.
I personally think it’s good enough if you feel like paying for it so they can keep developing it, but it’s good to keep this kinda stuff in mind.
I mostly use this on my desktop running win10, but GridPlayer for playing shows off an external hard drive.
At one point had it on my laptop running a Debian based OS, but I must have uninstalled/removed it somehow because I couldn’t find it a few days ago when I needed it. Thankfully I found an appimage as I couldn’t find it in the repos. And as I am writing this comment, I checked to see if it was available through flatpak and it is.
Love it because I can have my shows take up the full program area and stay that way when I change program resolution. I try that with other programs and it either doesn’t fit the whole program area or doesn’t take up the area when I change program size.
Only thing I wouldn’t really recommend it for is shows with subtitles since I have yet to figure out if it even supports subtitle files. Couldn’t watch the latest season of a show on it and had to switch to VLC because of that.
Design wise, absolutely peaked in the 90s/2000s. Now everything looks like a copy of each other with uninspired designs across the board.
In terms of what it has to offer, I personally don’t think so. Couldn’t imagine going back 10-20 years ago and not having a device like my Steam Deck that can play computer games on the go (laptop not included since when are you realistically pulling out a laptop on a drive when heading out for errands?) or having a laptop not as thin as my current laptop or even just the touchscreen feature. I also couldn’t imagine going back 20 years ago and not having a 1 or 2 TB portable external hard drive (or if they were out, being a lot more expensive than now).
Definitely a tie between Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone? from Harvey Danger, Never Bet The Devil Your Head from Subrosa, and Example from Four Squirrels. They’re currently my favorite CD albums out of the small collection I’ve gotten over the last year.
I wish. Too much work for them, especially since we don’t have as much engagement and posting on specific subr•ddit equivalents, if they even exist at all, compared to the originals. And I sure as Hell ain’t confident enough to start being one of those people who do a million posts a day to drive engagement.

Currently, at least for the windows version, you need to be part of the patreon if you don’t want to have to build from source. Right now I can get on my desktop and load Strawberry (which I got before this started happening) and it’ll tell me there’s an update for the windows version, the one I have because my desktop currently runs win10. If I click the button to update, it’ll take me to their patreon account and ask me to support them if I want the precompiled update.
I’d build from source on windows, but that sounds like a nightmare, so I just haven’t been able to update.
