Understanding the layout of the application will help you navigate it with ease and make the most out of its features.

Main Sections

Header Bar

Located at the top of the window, the header provides access to:

  • Application logo and version
  • Main navigation (Library, Effects, Settings)
  • Playback status and current song
  • Account options (Sign in, Profile, Settings)

The left-hand sidebar allows you to:

  • Switch between views: Library, Playlists, Effects
  • Access saved playlists
  • Browse imported or recently added tracks

Library Panel

This is where your music is listed. It includes:

  • Track name
  • Artist
  • Album

You can double-click a track to start playback, or right-click for more options.

Playback Controls

At the bottom center of the interface:

  • Play, Pause, Next, Previous
  • Seek bar to navigate within the track
  • Volume slider
  • Shuffle and loop options

Now Playing View

When a track is playing, the current song’s information appears here:

  • Album artwork
  • Title, artist, album
  • Elapsed and remaining time

Effects Sidebar (optional)

If enabled in settings, a panel on the right provides quick access to:

  • Equalizer
  • Reverb & Delay
  • Plugin chains

Responsive Design

The interface is fully responsive and adapts to smaller screens or window resizing, hiding less-used panels and focusing on playback.
