Look for Menu -> Tools -> Settings... -> Playlist -> Use alternating row colors

@Sharky-PI this would be incredibly useful.

I'm pretty sure that Strawberry sorts by metadata. A song needs a track number, independent of the file name. The suggestion of renaming files numerically is a good idea. Organizing your album folders alphabetically, by song name, runs counter to the way albums are presented -- which is numerically, by track number.

Right click on a song and select "Edit track information". There should be a number in the "Track" field at the right. Don't change anything yet, until you figure out the root of your problem, but if there is no number, that might be of concern.

Hope that helps.

@amour8440083555 How does you post thematically fit in the current thread?

@Ausron46
Might be some space or different characters in the name.
Try Tools / Console and enter:

SELECT distinct albumartist, artist, album from songs where artist like '%ventures%';

See if all the albums under The Ventures shows up, and check if there is a difference in naming, ie.: if there is a space before | album.

I don't have a subscription so I can't test. But maybe Spotify changed something causing it to break.

Can anyone else confirm if Spotify still works or not?

@jonhd Thank you!
