Footnotes

  1. Currently, the app only supports editing MP3 files due to dependency limitations. ↩

  2. Song lyrics use the SongLyrics package and an implementation from the MxLRC package. ↩

  3. Personalized shuffles and playlists are generated by analyzing listening patterns and play counts. ↩
