**Things im supposed to add on the next version

1. Audiophile & Advanced Audio Processing
   These features are dedicated to high-fidelity audio playback, transparency, and technical precision.

• Audio Path Diagnostics: A dedicated technical overlay showing exactly what the audio pipeline is doing (e.g., File Format -> Custom DSP -> Resampler Bypass -> USB DAC Output Rate) so audiophiles can mathematically verify bit-perfect playback.
• Detailed Codec & File Info: Displaying exact bitrate, bit depth, encoder information, and the active Bluetooth codec (like LDAC or aptX) directly on the Now Playing screen.
• DSD to PCM Real-Time Conversion: For users with standard DACs who still want to play ultra-high-fidelity DSD (Direct Stream Digital) files, the engine can convert them to PCM in real-time without skipping a beat.

2. Network, Cloud, & Server Integration
   These statements relate to connecting the local player to external networks, personal servers, and internet streams.

• Hybrid Cloud/NAS Support: The ability to map local network drives (SMB/Samba, WebDAV) or personal media servers (Plex, Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf) to stream or cache alongside your strictly offline files.
• Audiobookshelf Support: Native integration to pull audiobooks and podcasts from a self-hosted Audiobookshelf server, cache them offline, and sync playback progress back to the server when reconnected.
• Smart Offline Caching: The ability to automatically cache songs from a personal home server (like Plex, Jellyfin, or Subsonic) or cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive) based on rules.
• Internet Radio Integration: The ability to save custom HTTP live streaming URLs for internet radio stations, integrating them directly alongside your local library.

3. Long-Form Audio (Audiobooks/Podcasts) & Navigation
   These features are essential for managing and navigating continuous mixes, podcasts, and audiobooks, rather than standard 3-minute songs.

• Bookmarks and Notes: Saving specific timestamps within a long audio file, which is perfect for podcasts, audiobooks, or long DJ sets.
• CUE Sheet Support: The ability to read .cue files to split a single large audio file (like a continuous CD rip, DJ mix, or concert) into distinct, navigable tracks.
• Chapter Support: Reading embedded chapter metadata in M4A, M4B, or MP3 files, allowing users to jump between sections of a long mix or audiobook rather than just skipping tracks.
• Custom Skip Intervals: Independent forward/backward skip buttons (e.g., jump back 15 seconds, jump forward 45 seconds) that are crucial for navigating podcasts.

4. Queue Management & Playback State
   These features focus on how the app remembers your place and manages different types of listening sessions simultaneously.

• Persistent Multi-Queues: Completely separating your music queue from your audiobook queue.
• Queue States per Folder: Remembering the exact playback position, playback speed, and shuffle state per folder or playlist, allowing you to seamlessly jump between a music playlist and an audiobook without losing your place.

5. Library Organization & Curation
   These statements deal with how the app scans, organizes, and automatically generates content from your local files.

• Folder Whitelisting/Blacklisting: Granular control over exactly which folders the app scans. This prevents the player from accidentally adding WhatsApp voice notes, video game sound effects, or ringtones into your music library.
• Composer & Classical Formatting: Dedicated library tabs for "Composer," "Conductor," and "Orchestra"—essential metadata for classical music listeners that standard players often ignore.
• Smart Mixes (Offline Algorithm): Generating personalized instant mixes based entirely on your local listening history and habits, mirroring streaming algorithms but processed completely on-device.

6. UI, Hardware Integration & Accessibility
   These features extend the player's controls beyond the main app interface, integrating with your car, lock screen, or external hardware.

• Android Auto Compatibility: A stripped-down, driving-safe user interface that integrates seamlessly with car dashboard displays.
• Advanced Bluetooth Controls: Customizing exactly what double, triple, or long-presses do on your wireless earbuds.
• Lock Screen Overrides: Full playback controls, lyrics display, and visualizers accessible without having to unlock the phone.

7. Built-in Utilities
   This is a standalone utility feature that edits audio files rather than just playing or organizing them.

• Ringtone Cutter: A built-in utility to trim a specific segment of a song and set it as a device ringtone or alarm.
