Uploading Your Songs

The 7'ause Symbol, to resume or "ause a song in a certain "lace. The 7Sto" symbol, a bit li$e "ause but it sto"s the whole song instead of sto""ing it in that "lace. The one ne-t to sto", is to e8ect that song and add the ne-t song that is currently to" in the queue. Then we have 7.ue, no idea what that is for, %ve never used it. 798ect : %t basically sto"s the song and removes it from the dec$. 7;ade : %t fades out the song and fades in the ne-t song in the queue. 794 : <ot needed, unless you wish to change the "itch and stuff.
