Please add Strawberry Music Player to the software center.

[SuperSapien64]

I've been using the Strawberry Music Player for about a year now and I'm very pleased with it, yes I know Kubuntu has Elisa preinstalled but I'm not a fan of the interface.
So I would love if the Strawberry Music Player could be made available in the Discover Software Center. If I'm not asking to much?

The URL to add a ppa for Strawberry is about 2/3 down the page: https://www.strawberrymusicplayer.org/

Yes I know but its not quite the same also I quote on their site and possible Ubuntu clones. So I'm not sure how well it work on lets say Kubuntu?

It's all Ubuntu with a different face. The PPA should give you the latest version or it might require an update, but still the same than if it was in an Ubuntu repository. That same page shows a link for a developmental release if you're inclined.

I installed Strawberry directly from the site, but the PPA should be O.K., and will give you updates when they come out.

Beyond Plasma, there's not a whole lot of difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu. I got Strawberry as a Clementine replacement; I still miss Clementine.

[SuperSapien64]

I still miss Clementine.

Same to bad they gave up developing for it.

[jglen490]

Google shows a possible Snap package for Clementine. I'm very hesitant to do ANYTHING with snaps, but it is an option.

I'm experimenting with Cantata/MPD. I's not bad, no equalizer that I can find so far, but it works. I'll likely head back into Strawberry soon.

[jglen490]

I went back to the Strawberry site, added their PPA, and reinstalled Strawberry. Much better that Cantata, as Strawberry has an equalizer which allows tuning the sound to my equipment (HP laptop and a small pair of Bose speakers). I never tried Elisa, so can't compare. There are other multimedia players available, I play videos through VLC, and Smplayer has been good in the past. Looks like Strawberry is mine for now.

@jglen490

Yeah Strawberry Music Player is the best at least in my book.

To appear in the store, it would get into Debian/Ubuntu (unlikely); OR be snapped or flatpak'd.

All of these are outside the control/remit of Kubuntu, so the alternative options for now are best.

Hi
I saw your "Please Read Me" link in your sig and clicked it and found the nice thread on "how to post questions" but, more importantly, was reminded of the Trivium and the Quadrivium.

THANK YOU!!
