What is the source for the Information in the source column?
-
I've only been using this software for a short time and I think it's great!!
I wonder what is displayed in the Source column. There is a CD symbol for all my songs. What tag do I have to set for something else to be displayed here? What other sources are there? I have not been able to find any information on this so far.
( Sorry if that's the wrong category for the question. And excuse if that's maybe a bit of a stupid question, but I'm not good at reading code :D) -
@blumentopf I have understood that CD icon appears in the Source column when the songs you're playing are part of your Collection.
To add songs to your collection, you have to go to Settings > Collection > Add New Folder > and there you add the folder or folders where you have your music archives. If you have a large collection, it'll be a slower process. -
@CherryStraw ah thank you, that makes sense! Thanks for clarification.
I thought it shows if it's Flac or what the audio file was created from, like CD, Vinyl,... the CD icon confused me
Therefore I never thought about the actual source of the files (like Hard-Drive, Network-Share,...). -
@blumentopf You're welcome.
And BTW, Strawberry has also a File Type column if you want to remember the format of your music files. Is particularly useful if you have songs and/or albums in multiple formats. -
Strawberry should show CD (optical disc) icon only for songs loaded from CD, so I think your icons must have been replaced somehow, maybe by using system icons.
For the collection it should show a black vinyl icon, for local songs outside of the collection it should show a folder icon, other sources are streams, tidal, spotify, etc.
