tak is already supported by gst-libav, but TagLib doesn't support it so Strawberry won't read the tags.

@dick
Thanks for sharing the solution, what was the fallback again setting set to?

@Hoshiet
Change some columns, then go to Music / Quit, re-open Strawberry, are they then saved?
if not, please do a backtrace so we can see if it crashes:

Or use coredumpctl list and check if it crashed previously.

Strawberry isn't supported/expected to work under WSL.

@paul2berry
The played track history (clicking previous track button) will reset if you stop playback, or do you mean it's resetting while still playing?

@jonarmst_303
Have you tried adding a directory with audio files to the collection in Tools / Settings / Collection? Does anything show up?

Did you see https://wiki.strawberrymusicplayer.org/wiki/Database_integrity_check ?
Check the database for errors first, if you can read it in DB browser it might be possible to recover it.

You only need to build gst-rs-plugins from source if it's not already provided by your distro as a package, or you have a version older than 0.14. Most distros should ship the package containing the spotify plugin.
As for the build issue:
You are most likely missing the development package for GStreamer, the one containing gstreamer-1.0.pc and .h (development headers).
I don't know the package names for Solus so you might have to consult them.

I believe this is normal, seeking isn't supported with Spotify.
Strawberry mainly has one developer me, so it's not possible for me to reply to everything, there are too many issues to reply to.
