Help! I use Strawberry music player on my HP PC with zorin 17.1 no problem

I just installed Zorin 17.1 on my old 2012 Mac Mini and suddenly trying to play my music through Strawberry player is giving me this message:
The stream is encrypted and decryption is not supported.


../gst/isomp4/qtdemux.c(13583): qtdemux_parse_trak (): /GstPlayBin3:pipeline-1-pipeline/GstURIDecodeBin3:uridecodebin3/GstURISourceBin:urisourcebin0/GstParseBin:parsebin0/GstQTDemux:qtdemux1

I encrypted both HD during installs, but the encryption methods are different. For the PC I chose the first method that starts with an L and the Mac Mini I chose the second method I thin started with a Z. For some reason the installer kept giving me an error message when I tried to install the L encryption method on the Mac. PS the music was playing on the Mac and then suddenly I started to get this cannot decrypt error message.

UPDATE 8-6-24
It is fixed...I simply deleted the "collection" of music file path and re-selected. All is working A+. Zorin is a very forgiving OS...the more I work with it the more I love it.

Yet another reason not to use encryption. Apart from all the headaches encryption causes there is a chance of data loss and have experienced this first hand when using encryption of a data partition in Windows in the workplace many years ago. In respect of the machine using LUKS, this askubuntu thread may, or may not, help:

And encrypting ZFS systems is even more of a headache:

I like to keep life simple.
