Elements should maintain completely separate libraries for Music, Audiobooks, Lectures, etc.

We need to be able to export and import Elements libraries. However, most music players that allow this do not resolve changed file paths to songs. Thus, Elements should also have a mode for "resyncing" file paths, by searching the target folder for each filename. This will also require an interface for manually resolving file paths.

Add controls for working with the playback queue.

• Restart
• Previous
• Next
• Shuffle

Elements needs a fully editable music queue. This should always be active - selecting a song, artist, album, genre, playlist, etc. should add the tracks to the queue.

When designing, we need to ensure that if we switch what we're listening to, or if we rearrange a playlist (etc), the queue is changed. We also need options for how we add to the queue - replace, append, prepend, etc.

It should be possible to play a particular artist, album, genre, playlist, search query, etc. using a terminal command. This will not only allow Elements to be controllable from within the CLI, but will allow for integration with other applications (such as Mycroft).

Songs should be taggable, both with pre-defined tags and with arbitrary tags. For example, Mood tags should be built in (and extensible) by Elements, so you can select the mood of a song for quickly generating playlists.

Offer the basic playback controls:

• Play
• Pause
• Restart

The "Tags" bubble should appear nicely below the Tags toolbar button when clicked. No such luck. Find out how to get it to the right size and position.

Track/artist/album data (including MBID) should be in sync via the MusicBrainz API. Cover art can be downloaded using the MBID via the [Cover Art Archive API])https://coverartarchive.org/)

Elements needs to track all songs in the library in a data structure that can be searched by any field. It should sync with each track's metadata, but have the option to "link" and "unlink" any DB field from any metadata field.

The library should, at minimum, track the path to the music file.

Sometimes you want to add a "hidden track" from an album to a playlist, or to bypass an embedded interlude, but that involves manually jumping forward in the track or editing it yourself. To alleviate this, Elements should allow you to set custom start and end positions for a track.

Additionally, you should be able to add multiple "versions" of the track in the library. For example, you might always want to hear the embedded interlude AND the track when listening to the album, but only the track on one playlist. Or else, you might want to use the interlude in one playlist, the track in another, and leave the full thing for a third.

Thus, we should be able to have multiple 'versions' from the same file, and be able to treat them all as unique tracks.
