Strawberry Music Player 1.0.18 download the new version

If you are a macOS user, please reply with your thoughts, or send me a message, or e-mail me in private. It requires some C++, Objective C and Qt development experience. If someone else wants to volunteer to do this, then I'm open for that too. I wish there was another way, but I know from 5 years experience developing Strawberry how much time and resources I need to put into this. The source code will always be open source and free software, but not the binary releases. But I will of course make exceptions for those who have donated money in the past. I'm also closing future macOS releases so that they are only available to those that sponsor the project. Please note that this does not guarantee that all reported bugs and problems can be fixed, but I will of course try to fix anything I can. I'm going to set this to at least 30 users with 5 USD month each. I'm also requiring some regular sponsorship to cover time spent on making releases, solving issues and giving support. This machine will be used only for Strawberry development, to build the releases, and also for me to use for testing releases and debugging macOS specific issues. If there are 20 users willing to donate, it will be $38 each.

So to continue making macOS releases I need the cheapest mac mini (M2 8-Core / 8GB RAM / 256GB HDD) which costs around 760 USD. It is also not possible to run a ARM64 based macOS on my x86_64 based computer, which is what most users have today. It has also proved to be unreliable and incredible slow. I used to run a macOS Big Sur in VirtualBox, it crashed while attempting to upgrade to Ventura. To continue making macOS releases, I need more sponsors, and money to buy hardware.
