MyTunes

Description

MyTunes is a desktop application for managing and playing your music library. It allows you to add, delete, and play songs, as well as organize your music collection. The application now leverages ID3 tags to automatically retrieve song metadata, improving the user experience.

Features

• Add songs to the library using ID3 tags
• Delete songs from the library
• Play, pause, unpause, stop, and navigate through songs
• Drag and drop files to add them to the library
• SQLite database integration for storing song information
• Songs from previous sessions are loaded and displayed on startup
