Hey there! great app!

Additionally to #217 I would like to first make clear what permissions the app actually needs.

By default it has read/write access to the entire home directory, which is totally insecure and will very likely cause you troubles when submitting to flathub.

I tried and the app works without any filesystem permissions at all. I suppose you want to manage local music files, maybe download them. xdg-music would be reasonable here.

Better would of course be modern standards

These all give power to the users, and block apps from spying on your microphone, recording key strokes, other apps or scan your files. You know, principle of least privilege.

but until then, having minimal static permissions would be good.
