Notes

MS Windows portage is in my road map but Linux "embedded" version finalization has higher priority.

Will discoride remain free ?  Basic versions will remain free.

Master tempo is it possible ? I don't know if it's possible ... I will try.

discoride is not able to handle big songs library ( > 300 )
