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.
Tied to patreon how?
I was on Clementine before but development seems to have stalled
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.
Ah, I had no idea, thanks for letting me and others know!
