The table already computed and emitted the drop row for external URL
drops, but PlaylistView._on_files_dropped threw it away, so imported
files always appended. Thread it through: playlist_view.files_dropped
gains a row slot (None = append), MainWindow.import_files and
file_importer.import_paths take an optional position and hand it to
add_tracks_to_playlist, which already supported positional insert.
Files already in the library dedup to the existing track and insert at
the drop position without duplicating the library entry.

- New prefs: visualizer_mode (on/dim/off, saved on every click) and
color_visualizer_gray (None = keep the derived alternateBase look).
- VisualizerWidget takes prefs (optional, so existing call sites/tests
keep working); restores its mode at startup and validates junk values.
- New "Visualizer (gray mode):" row in the Preferences color sliders;
theme.default_gray mirrors the widget's 0.88-lightness derivation so
an untouched slider shows the current appearance.
- TransportBar.refresh_theme() repaints the visualizer so slider drags
preview live.

Rediagnosed (was thought Bluetooth-specific): on the Debian 13 machine,
resuming after the machine sat idle plays nothing even though decoding
runs (visualizer moves) — the OS suspends the audio sink and it comes
back dead until a seek re-primes it. Resuming after a pause of 30s+ now
does a seek-in-place before play(), automating the manual "rewind
slightly" workaround without losing the position. The volume re-apply
from the earlier fix stays (harmless, covers device swaps).
Also fold the new backlog items into the TASKS.md board.

The confirmation dialog gains a "Use for All N Songs in Album" button
(shown when the library's album has more songs than the selection); it
embeds the chosen art into every track matching the album, not just the
right-clicked ones. Album membership matches case-insensitively on album
name + album artist (falling back to track artist), the same grouping the
search already uses.

Features:
- Rating hover dots: hovering a rating cell shows 5 clickable slots
(RatingDelegate); click slot k sets k stars, clicking the current count
clears. Undoable, library-only (ratings never rewrite music files).
- Search bar moved into the Library header strip, right of the Library
button, so the tracklist top aligns with the playlist tree.
- Right-click "Download Album Art…": iTunes Search API (no key), off-thread
fetch, preview/confirm dialog with Next Result, embeds via write_artwork
+ size refresh, invalidates the MPRIS art cache.
Fixes:
- MPRIS media keys: PropertiesChanged sent invalidated_properties as "av"
instead of "as", so gsd-media-keys dropped it and never MRU-bumped
lintunes (why the play/pause key kept waking stale players). Now an
explicit QDBusArgument string array; loopback-verified sa{sv}as.
- Exit segfault: ordered Player.shutdown() (stop, clear source, detach
buffer/audio outputs) from closeEvent/aboutToQuit; scripted run exits 0.
- BT zero-volume after pause/resume: volume re-applied on resume, device
swap, and BufferedMedia (needs verify on the affected machine).
Cruft sweep:
- Tag writes filtered to EDITABLE_FIELDS; failures logged + surfaced in
the status bar (was a swallowed print).
- O(n²) import fixed (location index + cached max track id); O(1)
refresh/reveal via TrackTableModel row index.
- lastfm: scrobble-queue thread lock, login prefs write marshalled to the
GUI thread, JSON/raise_for_status order fixed.
- Shared read_json/write_json; TableSettingsMixin dedupes view settings.
TASKS.md rewritten as a resumable board; tests in tests/test_round17.py
(251 total pass).

Both machines now reflect each other's changes within a couple seconds, and
genuine Syncthing conflicts auto-merge with a backup and an alert.
- sync_watcher.py: QFileSystemWatcher (debounced, re-arms after atomic renames)
emits a single `changed`; the manager decides if it was external.
- library_manager: `reload_from_disk()` re-reads and reconciles disk into memory
(max play/skip counts, newest edit wins, playlist membership unioned), keeping
local unsaved edits and object identity so open views stay valid, then refreshes
the UI without touching the player. `flush()` records each file's (mtime, size)
so our own writes are never mistaken for an external change. New signals
library_reloaded / conflict_resolved.
- conflict_resolver: back up BOTH sides into .resolved/<ts>/{original,incoming}/
before merging, return list[ConflictSummary], add restore_backup(); runs at
startup and live.
- gui/conflict_dialog.py: modeless summary with Open/Restore backup; main_window
shows it from a status-bar notice and preserves scroll+selection on reload.
Tests: tests/test_round16.py (9) + full suite green (225).

Document three ways to get the dependencies since Debian's system pip is locked
down (PEP 668 externally-managed-environment): pip, apt (no pip), or a venv, with
the note that `python3 -m lintunes.main` runs the app without pip or the
`lintunes` command at all. Make the second-machine steps install-agnostic and add
the app screenshot.

Add a "Running on a second machine" section: clone + install, point the
per-machine ~/.config/lintunes/config.json at the synced folder via --save-config
(no re-import needed since paths are stored relative to the data dir), and run
packaging/install-desktop.sh to install + pin the launcher. Note the desktop
launcher follows the saved config, and add smart playlists + multi-machine sync
to the feature list.

The library is going live as the canonical store, synced to a second machine
via Syncthing. Track locations were stored absolute and only remapped at import,
so on a second machine (where Syncthing mounts the folder at a different path)
every location would break.
- lintunes/paths.py: to_relative/to_absolute. Locations are stored relative to
the data dir and resolved back on load, applied only at the json_storage
boundary (save_tracks/load_library). Track.location stays absolute in memory,
so the player, tagging, and art code are unchanged. The data dir and the music
move together inside one synced tree, so paths resolve wherever it's mounted —
no per-machine music_root config. Absolute paths in older library.json files
still load (back-compat).
- tests/test_round15.py: helper round-trips, back-compat, and a machine-2
scenario (save under root A, load the copied tree under root B).
- TASKS.md/tasks-done.md: mark the data-dir move + real import done; log the
benign exit-time Qt/FFmpeg teardown segfault.

Auto-populating, criteria-driven playlists that import faithfully from iTunes.
- lintunes/smart.py: recursive SmartCriteria/SmartGroup/SmartRule/SmartLimit
model (JSON round-tripping), a shared FIELD_REGISTRY used by both the
evaluator and the editor, and evaluate() (match all/any, nested groups,
string/int/duration/rating/date/bool ops, "in the last N", limit by
items/time/size). Null play/skip dates are treated as the distant past,
matching iTunes.
- iTunes import via a vendored MIT-licensed binary parser
(lintunes/itunes_smart/, from cvzi/itunes_smartplaylist). Nested groups
parse and evaluate; blobs we can't represent (MediaKind/iCloud/etc.) flag
unsupported and keep the imported snapshot. "loved" is dropped per user pref.
- library_manager: create/set/recompute smart playlists (undoable), field-scoped
coalesced live recompute hooked into the edit/play/skip/add funnels, a no-op
equality guard to avoid Syncthing churn, and manual-edit guards. main.py
recomputes on load; conflict_resolver keeps newest criteria for smart lists.
- GUI: ❧ glyph painted in the sidebar branch column, read-only track table for
smart playlists, New/Edit Smart Playlist menus, and SmartPlaylistEditorDialog
(per-field rule rows, match all/any, limits, live updating).
Tests: tests/test_round14.py (real captured blobs in tests/smart_blobs.json).

Ctrl-X now removes the track from the playlist right away (so it visibly
leaves) and a paste re-inserts it at the target — replacing the earlier
deferred-move design (dropped move_tracks_between_playlists and the MIME
cut flag). A cut from the library is still just a copy. Separately, a
left-click on any scrollbar trough now jumps to that spot instead of
paging, via an app-wide ClickToJumpScrollStyle proxy.

While a track drag hovers within 28px of the track list's top/bottom
edge, the list scrolls that way (40ms timer) so the user can drop onto
off-screen rows. Qt's built-in autoscroll never fires because our
dragMoveEvent accepts the event itself, so this is driven manually; the
drop line refreshes as content scrolls under a stationary cursor.

Cut (Ctrl-X) marks the selection on the clipboard with a `cut` flag; a
paste of a cut from a real playlist is a *move* (single-undo across
playlists via move_tracks_between_playlists; same-playlist reorders),
while a copy — or a cut from the library, which has nothing to remove —
just adds. Paste now inserts *above the selected track* rather than
appending. Cut/Paste added to the track context menu; parse_tracks_mime
now tolerates a None/empty clipboard.

Five grayscale (black->white) sliders in Preferences that update live:
outer-chrome background (QPalette.Window), the rounded transport button
boxes, the now-playing panel, the now-playing text, and the row stripes
(QPalette.AlternateBase). Defaults are None ("inherit current") so nothing
changes until the user drags. Decouples the button boxes from the stripe
color (they used to share palette alternate-base). Live preview via
Preferences.set_live (no disk write); persisted ~0.4s after the drag.

A slim horizontal master-volume slider in its own slot between the
visualizer and the timeline (TASKS.md). Perceptual->linear gain so it
ramps like iTunes; persists to preferences.json (debounced so it doesn't
thrash the theme). Clicking jumps to the spot via a new ClickJumpSlider
base extracted from SeekSlider.
