"After my Win 7 drive crashed, I officially switched to Mint because Windows 10.... no...just....no spyware microflaccid grabage for me any more. I played around with Mint and other Linux distros for a few years before making the switch, but the drive crash forced the change. One of the programs I preferred to use in windows (even though most people hate it) was Windows Media Player. I loved WMP because I could edit album art and ID3 tags directly in it, and do it in a "Batch" instead of .....one ...file ...at ...a ....time. I searched for a long time, and went through a lot of "players" before I found "Clementine" and then "Strawberry." I've found Strawberry to be the CLOSESEST Media Player to WMP out of all I tried, and it (like WMP) allows me to edit album art and ID3 tags in batches! One thing Strawberry does that WMP won't, is allow me to change ID3 tags in almost EVERY audio file format, not just .wma and .mp3 files. I used to convert .wav files and .flac's to .mp3 just so I could fix tags, but Strawberry allows me to do it without conversion. I have only two complaints about Strawberry (flatpak/flathub version) ...first is minor and morrors what others have said... I want a DARK theme. The other which is the only reason I REMOVED TWO STARS is because the Flatpak/Flathub version takes 9:22 to start up! Yes, Nine Minutes and 22 seconds! When I install the non-"flat" version directly from their website, it takes only 22 seconds to start. Fix the "flat" version so it also starts in under a minute, and I'll give you 5 stars... for now you get 3."
