About Strawberry

Strawberry is a desktop music player and music collection organizer. It was forked from Clementine in 2018 and is written in C++ using the Qt framework. The project is designed for audiophiles and music collectors and is distributed as free software under the GPL. Its source code and releases are hosted on GitHub.

The player supports many lossless and lossy audio formats, including DSD, and offers bit-perfect playback on Linux. It can fetch missing tags through acoustic fingerprinting with AcoustID and MusicBrainz, scrobble to Last.fm, ListenBrainz, and Subsonic, and play internet radio and Subsonic-compatible servers. Some features rely on external services, such as album art and lyrics providers, and unofficial Tidal, Spotify, and Qobuz integration. Users should review those services separately. The source states that macOS and Windows releases are currently available to sponsors only, and that the project does not maintain the Flatpak package.
