Psychotoxical 2f1d52e100 docs(readme): shorten features list and remove completed roadmap
Condensed 27 feature bullets to 14 key highlights, replaced exact
theme count with "wide selection", added CLI Control entry, and
removed the completed roadmap section (redundant with features list).

Psysonic is a beautiful desktop music player built completely from the ground up for the modern era. Utilizing **Tauri v2** and **React**, it offers a native-feeling, lightweight, and incredibly fast experience with a stunning UI inspired by the [Catppuccin](https://github.com/catppuccin/catppuccin) and [Nord](https://www.nordtheme.com/) aesthetics.
Designed specifically for users hosting their own music via Navidrome or other Subsonic API servers, Psysonic aims to be the best way to interact with your personal library.

## ✨ Features
- 🎨 **Wide Theme Selection**: Dozens of themes across 8 groups — Open Source Classics (Catppuccin, Nord, Gruvbox, Nightfox, Dracula), Operating Systems, Games, Movies, Series, Social Media, and Psysonic originals. Glassmorphism effects, micro-animations, and a time-based **Theme Scheduler** for automatic day/night switching.
-**Native Performance**: Built with Rust & Tauri — native audio engine (rodio), minimal RAM usage, no Electron overhead.
- 🎵 **Last.fm Integration**: Scrobbling, Now Playing, love/unlove, Similar Artists, and top stats — no Navidrome config needed.
- 🎤 **Synchronized Lyrics**: Auto-scrolling synced lyrics with click-to-seek in the sidebar and fullscreen player, powered by LRCLIB and your Navidrome server.
- 📻 **Radio & Infinite Queue**: Smart Radio sessions from any song or artist, built-in Internet Radio (ICY/HLS), and an Infinite Queue that silently refills when the queue runs out.
- 🎛️ **Advanced Audio**: 10-band graphic EQ with custom presets, **AutoEQ** headphone correction, Replay Gain, gapless playback, and crossfade.
- 〰️ **10 Seekbar Styles**: Waveform, Bar, Thick Bar, Segmented, Line+Dot, Neon, Pulse Wave, Particle Trail, Liquid Fill, and Retro Tape.
- 🖥️ **Fullscreen Player**: Album art, animated synced lyrics overlay, and artist image in a dedicated fullscreen view.
- 📋 **Playlists & Library**: Full playlist management with drag-and-drop reorder and smart suggestions. Genre browsing, Random Mix, Advanced Search, ratings (15 stars), and multi-select actions.
- 💾 **Device Sync**: Export your library to a USB drive or portable device using a configurable filename template.
- 🖥️ **CLI Control**: Control playback, switch servers, manage the queue, and more directly from the command line.
- ⌨️ **Customization**: Configurable keybindings, UI fonts, global zoom slider, system tray, backup & restore, and in-app auto-update.
- 🌍 **8 Languages**: English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Chinese, Norwegian, Russian.
- 🖥️ **Cross-Platform**: Windows, macOS, and Linux (Arch AUR, .deb, .rpm).

## 📥 Installation
Navigate to the [Releases](https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/releases) page and download the installer for your operating system.
### 🐧 Linux
**Quick Install (Recommended):**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic/main/scripts/install.sh | sudo bash
```
**Manual Installation:**
- **Ubuntu / Debian**: `.deb` from GitHub Releases
- **Fedora / RHEL**: `.rpm` from GitHub Releases
### 🍎 macOS
- **macOS**: `.dmg` (Universal or Apple Silicon)
> [!WARNING]
> **Gatekeeper Note:**
> Since the app is released without an Apple Developer certificate, macOS will block it by default. To bypass this, run the following command in the Terminal after moving the app to the Applications folder:
> ```sh
> xattr -cr /Applications/Psysonic.app
> ```
### 🪟 Windows
- **Windows**: `.exe` (NSIS installer)
> [!WARNING]
> **SmartScreen Note:**
> Windows SmartScreen might show a warning because the installer isn't signed with an expensive developer certificate. Click on **"More info"** and then **"Run anyway"**.
## 📦 Installation (Arch Linux / AUR)
Psysonic is available in the **AUR** in two versions. Choose the one that best fits your needs:
| Package | Type | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| [**psysonic**](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/psysonic) | **Source** | Builds from source using your system's native **WebKitGTK** (no bundled libs, no EGL/Mesa compatibility issues). |
| [**psysonic-bin**](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/psysonic-bin) | **Binary** | Pre-compiled version for faster installation. |
> [!TIP]
> The AUR binary package is kindly provided and maintained by [**kilyabin**](https://github.com/kilyabin).
## 🚀 Getting Started
1. Download and install Psysonic.
2. Open the app and enter your Subsonic/Navidrome server details (URL, Username, Password).
3. If applicable, you can provide both an external URL and a local LAN IP. Psysonic allows you to quickly toggle between them in the Settings.
4. Enjoy your music!
## 🛠️ Development
If you want to build Psysonic from source or contribute to the project:
### Prerequisites
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v18+)
- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/) (v1.75+)

- Linux: `sudo apt install cmake` / `sudo pacman -S cmake`
- macOS: `brew install cmake`
- Windows: [cmake.org/download](https://cmake.org/download/) or `winget install cmake`
- OS-specific build dependencies for Tauri (see the [Tauri prerequisites guide](https://tauri.app/v2/guides/getting-started/prerequisites)).
### Setup
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Psychotoxical/psysonic.git
cd psysonic
# Install node dependencies
npm install
# Run in development mode
npm run tauri:dev
# Build for production
