Strawberry Music Player, alternative Linux à Spotify Desktop

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Strawberry Music Player is not a direct replacement for Spotify Desktop if you rely on official Spotify streaming with full sync and offline playback. However, it can act as a partial alternative for users who want local music management with optional Spotify catalog access via a plugin. It excels for audiophiles managing large local collections with high-quality output and metadata control. The Spotify integration is unofficial and community-maintained, so it may break or lack features like full playlist sync. Use Strawberry if you prioritize local audio fidelity and tagging over seamless cloud streaming.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Spotify Desktop

Strawberry cannot open or import Spotify Desktop playlist files (.sp or proprietary formats), as Spotify does not expose these in a standard way. Playlist migration requires manual recreation or third-party tools to export from Spotify as plain text or CSV. Strawberry supports importing playlists in standard formats like M3U, XSPF, and PLS. Your local music files remain accessible, but Spotify-exclusive content must be re-downloaded if available elsewhere.

Does Strawberry support offline playback like Spotify Premium?

No, Strawberry does not officially support offline caching of Spotify tracks. You must rely on the plugin's real-time streaming, which requires internet.
