## Frequently asked questions

### Does this viewer show ID3 tags or album art?

It focuses on playing the audio. Some metadata embedded in the file may be read, but the main goal is reliable browser playback.

### Are my MP3 files uploaded?

No. Files opened from your device stay on your device and are decoded locally. Only the public sample tracks are requested from the server.

### What is the difference between .mp3 and .mpeg?

MP3 is officially known as MPEG-1/2 Audio Layer III. The .mpeg extension is sometimes used for the same audio stream, so this viewer accepts both .mp3 and .mpeg.
