It has been suggested that the QPO phenomenon in LMXB's could be explained when the central compact object is a strange star. In this work we investigate within a standard model for disk accretion whether the observed clustering of spin frequencies in a narrow band is in accordance with this hypothesis. We show that frequency clustering occurs for accreting strange stars when typical values of the parameters of magnetic field initial strength and decay time, accretion rate are chosen. In contrast to hybrid star accretion no mass clustering effect is found.
