Advanced Tips

• Use smart playlists to auto-group new tracks (e.g., “Added in last 30 days”).
• Enable ReplayGain or per-track normalization to avoid volume jumps between songs.
• For best audio quality on Windows, select WASAPI or ASIO output if available.
• Backup your library database/export playlists regularly to avoid data loss.
• Use third-party plugins for additional codecs or features if supported.

Troubleshooting — Common Issues

• Playback stutters: check CPU usage, change output driver, or resample settings.
• Missing metadata/album art: force re-scan library and enable online metadata sources.
• Sync failures: verify sign-in, network access, and that both devices run compatible app versions.
• App crashes: update to latest version, clear cache, or reinstall while preserving library database if possible.
