@athoopen Great! Glad you solved it!

@toastman Strawberry Version 1.2.22, released a couple of days ago, now has a dark mode preset built in, as well as the ability to tweak the color palette. It's in Settings > Appearance. Nice!

I still use qt6ct (Qt6 Configuration Tool), as it offers the ability to change fonts, icons, etc., in addition to theme colors. But, if all you're looking for is a dark mode, the new option might be enough.

The song needs to be a local file in the collection, make sure there is a vinyl icon next to the Source column in the playlist, it indicates that it is in the collection.

@Mei93
Yes that setting is disabled. From what I'm aware that setting only applies to how the collection is displayed in the application. This issue is how strawberry and previously clementine sort tracks that are being synced to a device.

@arterial
Make sure ALSA or PulseAudio is selected as output in Tools / Settings / Backend, with PipeWire it will use the ALSA, or PulseAudio emulation. Don't select pipwire as output, the PipeWire output doesn't work properly, it's unfinished/buggy.

@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.

@Madp03t It is under your profile. Click on the three vertical dots, then select "Edit". It is easy from there.

The new version 1.2.22 released now has an option for dark mode under the appearance settings, you can also configure each individual color on the interface.

I'd also like to voice some suggestions regarding synced lyrics, it would be best when timestamps are available to use the foobar2000 approach of highlighting the current row or, if timestamps are unavailable, autoscroll the lyrics in sync to the song's progress.

Unless there is something wrong with your system, all the functionality you referenced exists in Strawberry.

To shuffle a playlist, right click on the playlist and select "Shuffle playlist", or press Ctrl+H. The shuffle buttons are only for setting the actual playback behavior.

To jump to the currently playing track, press Ctrl+J. You can also select this in Menu > Playlist.

You found the star. Not sure why this was not evident. Maybe something with your theme, making the icon hard to see?

Use your hover tooltips to get useful info. Also, right click menus have many, many options. And explore keyboard shortcuts. They can be handy.

Finally, a suggestion -- When you post, try not to let it devolve into a rant right off the bat. Tighten up your writing; less stream of consciousness. That was a formidable wall of text. 😉

Hope you get things sorted and can enjoy Strawberry. It's a great application! Good luck!

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?
