Detection
The Rust core uses high-performance system APIs (WinRT on Windows, MPRIS on Linux) to reliably read media info — even when minimized.
💾
JSON Export
Track info and album artwork (as base64) are written to current_song.json every second, acting as a lightweight local data bridge.
✨
Live Widget
The OBS Browser Source polls the JSON file and renders a sleek, glassmorphism card with smooth fade transitions on every song change.
