I guess it doesn't look like windows to me, maybe because I am not on windows? It follows my custom theme on KDE with kvantum quite nicely.

I am not sure what else it could look like... Although you can customize what you want to see, title, name, date, source, bitrate and a couple of dozen more things.

I have no idea what you mean by folder, it's a cataloged library in a database....

I don't know about copying to my phone, I just stream to it. All the actual files are on a server with several ways to access that.

But podcasts sync without issue to a tiny mp3 device I take kayaking.

Edit: I forgot to say, I get it if you use multi Genre it is a deal breaker. I went and looked at music bee, and they use those damn circle cut icons (hate that so much) and lots of album covers. I have no use for either.
