## Overview
Lyrion Music Server streams local and plugin-provided audio to networked players. This tree is a browser-interface slice, not the server runtime: it shows the player-control shell, browsing and search entry points, playlist interactions, and plugin features. The principal user flow is to choose a player, find or add music, and control playback. Shared controller wiring is visible in Main.js; backend behavior and most request paths are not sampled, so those connections are omitted. The README documents broader streaming capabilities that these files alone cannot trace.
Main entry points: [`HTML/Default/html/Main.js`](https://github.com/lms-community/slimserver/blob/public/9.2/HTML/Default/html/Main.js) (Main shell), [`HTML/Classic/html/dragdrop.js`](https://github.com/lms-community/slimserver/blob/public/9.2/HTML/Classic/html/dragdrop.js) (Playlist reorder), [`HTML/EN/html/SqueezeJS/UI.js`](https://github.com/lms-community/slimserver/blob/public/9.2/HTML/EN/html/SqueezeJS/UI.js) (Player controls), [`Slim/Plugin/DnDPlay/HTML/Default/js-main-dd.js`](https://github.com/lms-community/slimserver/blob/public/9.2/Slim/Plugin/DnDPlay/HTML/Default/js-main-dd.js) (Audio file drop)
