I took a Strawberry break a couple years ago while waiting for Smart Playlist functionality to be added in, at that time Strawberry was a great start, but didn't quite meet my requirements, so I went back to Clementine. Clementine has been failing me lately, so I re-installed Strawberry, and all I can say is:

OMG!!! Strawberry is now, hands-down, my favorite music player/library available for Linux. It's not even close! You have officially surpassed the original project, and I couldn't be happier for you! Thank you so much for your dedication to this project!

Now I've gotta buy you a beer or something.

@jonas said in Playlists are scrambled:

Make sure the "Mark disappeared songs unavailable" option is always on in the collection settings.

Roger that, I just set that now and will report back if it doesn't fix the issue.

Unfortunately, I am not sure when this happened. I hadn't noticed it until this morning (March 6) when I actually opened one of my saved Playlists. The playlist still existed in the Playlist tab, but every playlist had different songs than what I had set up! I always save playlists as M3U so I can listen to them via mpd, so I can verify that this happened.

For example, I had made this playlist to have all the songs I come across that have a mariachi band playing in the background. Here's what it looks like today:

And this is what it was when I created it (txt from m3u):

This happened to every single playlist that I have created, different songs in each. I've never had this kind of issue with Strawberry, is it possible this was accidentally introduced in an update?
