🎼 Song Detector Integration
Automatic track info from Spotify, YouTube Music, etc:
Song Detector (basic):
- Artist & title → LED matrix text display
- Album artwork → LED matrix image visualization
- Color extraction → auto-generate gradients for your virtuals (effect keeps running)
Song Detector Plus (advanced):
- Everything above, plus:
- Real-time playback position & duration
- Built-in player controls
- Song Triggers - auto-apply specific scenes when certain songs play
All managed from CC settings - download, install, auto-start configuration built-in.
info: on mac we are using a custom Adapter of media-control
