+      An audio player that can play back files with seamless loops using their metadata.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      It can also change the pitch, tempo, and speed (which is pitch and tempo at the same time) using the SoundTouch libraries found on the system.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      ### Themes This player supports theming! Go to the preferences window, and either select a theme, or open the theme editor.
+    </p>
+    <p>
+      In addition, themes support changing the accent color to have the hue you select.
