How does the library handle Android 13 permissions?

The library automatically requests the granular READ_MEDIA_AUDIO permission on API 33+ and gracefully falls back to READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE on older Android versions.

Is this skill compatible with .NET MAUI?

Absolutely. Shiny.Music is designed for modern .NET targets (net10.0-android/ios) and includes Dependency Injection extensions specifically for MAUI applications.

Does Shiny Music support Apple Music subscription tracks?

Yes, on iOS it can play DRM-protected tracks using the StoreId via MPMusicPlayerController, although these tracks cannot be copied to local storage due to platform restrictions.

Does it return podcasts or ringtones?

No, Shiny.Music is specifically tuned to filter out non-music media, ensuring queries only return tracks identified as music by the host operating system.

Can I filter tracks by specific release years or decades?

Yes, the API provides dedicated methods like GetYearsAsync and GetDecadesAsync, and allows complex filtering through the MusicFilter object to find tracks within specific timeframes.

Mobile Development

Simplifies cross-platform music library access, metadata querying, and playback for .NET Android and iOS applications.

Shiny Music provides a comprehensive, unified .NET API for interacting with native music libraries on Android and iOS. It enables developers to manage permissions, query extensive track metadata (including genres, decades, and playlists), and control audio playback through a standardized interface. This skill provides the implementation patterns and configuration guidance needed to navigate platform-specific complexities like Android's MediaStore and iOS's MPMediaQuery, including specialized support for Apple Music streaming subscriptions and DRM-aware track copying.
