What & why

Two README commits, paired with the FAQ that just went up on the website.

The intro paragraph led with mechanism ("serves music files to CDJs over the Pro DJ Link protocol"); it now leads with what the app does for a DJ with hardware: load tracks from your PC straight onto Pioneer CDJ/XDJ decks, with no rekordbox, no USB sticks, and no export step. Same facts and length as before; the two appearance modes, the DJM mention, analysis, the web UI, and one-click import all stay.

A new Troubleshooting section covers the three problems people actually hit: the CDJ waveform-color quirk that blanks the scrolling waveform for network sources, the expected one-time re-analysis pass after upgrades that bump the analysis cache version, and the rekordbox slot collision that makes CDJs silently stop loading tracks when two rekordbox sources share the network. It closes with how to collect useful logs for a bug report, which is worth saying now that the default log level is quiet. About-the-project questions point at the website FAQ instead of being duplicated, so there is one source of truth for each kind of content: the site answers "what is this", the README fixes "why is it doing that".

Hardware testing

  • Tested on: N/A: README only, no code change.

Checklist

  • go build ./..., go vet ./..., and go test ./... pass
  • gofmt -l . is clean
  • New source files carry an SPDX header (GPL-3.0-or-later) (n/a, no new files)
  • Tested on real hardware (deck + firmware noted above), or this change doesn't affect deck behaviour
  • I agree my contribution is licensed under the project's GPLv3

The three problems people hit most (the CDJ waveform-color quirk, the
post-upgrade re-analysis pass, and the rekordbox slot collision), plus
how to collect useful logs for a bug report now that the default log
level is quiet. About-the-project questions point at the website FAQ.
The intro paragraph led with mechanism ("serves music files to CDJs
over the Pro DJ Link protocol"); it now leads with the capability -
load tracks from your PC straight onto CDJ/XDJ hardware with no
rekordbox, no USB sticks, no export step - matching the framing of the
website FAQ. Same facts, same length, mechanism and features follow.
