Troubleshooting
Music stops in background
Browser battery optimization often kills background tabs on mobile. Use the "Install App" (PWA) feature.
Song fails to load
Usually due to geo-blocking. Try skipping to the next song or searching for a generic version.
Windows App: "Unsafe File" Warning
This is expected for indie software. We don't buy corporate signing certificates from Microsoft. The app is virus-free and stable - simply click "Run Anyway".
