Where Does Strawberry Store Settings and Library?
Strawberry config file on Linux and Windows with collection database and settings.
Last updated
Strawberry keeps its settings in a strawberry.conf file with the collection database alongside, mapping your library without moving any audio. Deleting the config resets the player while music files stay untouched.
The database holds play counts, ratings and playlist content. Back up the config folder and the whole library state moves machines intact.
Where Strawberry stores this, by platform
~/.config/strawberry/strawberry.conf
Main settings file with the collection database in the same folder. Copy the strawberry folder with the player closed to migrate everything.
%APPDATA%\Strawberry\Strawberry\strawberry.conf
Same config and database role as Linux. Confirm the nested folder on your install before scripting backups, since packaging can vary.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up my Strawberry library?
Copy the full strawberry config folder with the player closed. The database inside carries the collection index, playlists and statistics.
Where is the Strawberry collection database?
Next to strawberry.conf in the folders above. Music files stay in your own library paths and are only referenced.
