 A cross-platform tool for downloading and keeping in sync a local copy of entire YouTube playlists as MP3 or MP4 files, using [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) & [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/).
 
 Supports audio, video, or both download modes, music and videos are numbered as they are on your youtube playlist, playlist cleanup, and configurable parallel download options.
 Local-first YouTube playlist synchronization client.
 
-## What’s Included
+## What's Included
 
+- GUI (PySide6) playlist manager + sync runner
 - Scanner (yt-dlp extract-only), diff engine, filesystem scan
 - Safe reordering via two-pass rename, recycle deletions
 - Async download queue with simple retry (yt-dlp Python API)
-- SQLite metadata; DB updates on rename/download/delete; `last_sync`
-- Optional event publishing for future GUI/logs
+- SQLite metadata (`last_sync`, download state)
 
 ## Requirements
 
-- Python 3.10+
-- `ffmpeg` (needed for `audio` and `both` modes)
+- If you download a `-ffmpeg` release: no extra dependencies
+- If you download a non-ffmpeg release: install `ffmpeg` and ensure it's on PATH (needed for `audio` and `both` modes)
 
-Quick start:
+## Download
 
-Download the latest release from [releases](https://github.com/darkzoul5/YoutubePlaylistSyncThing/releases) page
+Download the latest release from this repo's Releases page and pick one:
+
+- `ytpl-sync-windows-{version}-ffmpeg.zip` / `ytpl-sync-linux-{version}-ffmpeg.tar.gz` (ffmpeg bundled)
+- `ytpl-sync-windows-{version}.zip` / `ytpl-sync-linux-{version}.tar.gz` (no ffmpeg bundled)
 
 ## Configure
-
-On first run, the app will auto-create a default `config/yt-playlist-config.json` (if missing).
-
-Create/edit `config/yt-playlist-config.json`:
+Application uses a json config that canbe edited from UI or manually

+## Tray
+ 
+- The app supports minimizing to tray on close if the OS provides a system tray; use the tray icon menu to quit.
+- Tray behavior settings (Settings page):
+  - `close_to_tray`: close hides to tray (keeps running).
+  - `minimize_to_tray`: minimize hides to tray.
+  - `start_minimized_to_tray`: start hidden in tray.
 
 ## Data & Layout
 
-- Database: `app/data/app.db`
+- Database: `db/app.db`
 - Outputs: `<save_path>/audio` and/or `<save_path>/video`
 - Recycle bin: `<save_path>/.recycle/{audio,video}`
 
 ## Roadmap (short)
 
 - Scheduler (periodic sync), richer retries/logging
-- GUI (PySide6) wired to EventBus
 - Enhanced config validation
+- UX polish (settings, progress, error messages)
