- Windows listeners with local FLAC/ALAC libraries
- Worth noticing
- The page says shared mode passes through the Windows mixer, and the signal path identifies that alteration.
Field notes
The described output path distinguishes exclusive mode from shared mode, where the Windows mixer sits between the player and device. The page also describes gapless album playback, crossfade and an Automix option that trims up to two seconds of silence; it says albums can be kept gapless regardless of other settings. Navidrome is listed as a source alongside local folders, while additional extension-based sources are presented as forthcoming.
