There is a tag for "sort order"; if you're willing to tag your music, you can probably achieve this without changing anything about Strawberry. (Unless Strawberry ignores sort order tags.)

RE: album cover background art - the quality could be improved
It might be worth observing that where the embedded image is smaller, Strawberry seems to display a background image that is restricted by the size of the embedded image - but it isn't the embedded image, it's the Strawberry-backround-image version with lots of pixelation.

Here's what ffprobe has to say:

There's only one embedded image. It displays correctly in context. I think it's just the background.

RE: album cover background art - the quality could be improved
(Both image uploads yielded an "error" message, and what I assume was meant to be a link to the uploaded file came out as the text "error". I'll try again if someone knows how to upload a file.)

album cover background art - the quality could be improved
I've configured Strawberry to use the album cover as a background image in the playlist view.
The only problem is that the quality of the image Strawberry displays is awful. Here's a screenshot of Strawberry displaying some embedded artwork:
Here's a screenshot of mpv playing the same file:
mpv is displaying the image at a larger size than Strawberry is. And I had to shrink it; the embedded art is so large that my original screenshot exceeded the limit on file upload sizes.
Why is the image so degraded when Strawberry presents it as background art?

How do song ratings work? Are they really implemented?
I think Strawberry is supposed to support user ratings for individual songs. I have only been able to find one piece of functionality related to this: when I edit a song's tags, there is a rating field measured in half-stars. But I don't want my rating to be stored as a tag on the file; I want it to go into Strawberry's database for use and display within Strawberry. There is a setting that implies Strawberry-only ratings exist, but I haven't found more than just the setting.
So:
- How do I provide a rating for a song, without tagging the file?
- Can I get that rating to be displayed in the playlist view? It'd be more useful than e.g. the bitrate, which is an automatic column.
