Features

Selene comes with a variety of features to make it convenient for anyone to use, be it an average listener, or a music enthusiast

Library Management

Selene treats your source files differently from your library. In making sure Selene never corrupts, degrades, or messes with your music permanently, Selene will copy all source files into your library. Songs in the library are where non-reversable operations will be applied to your music, like loudness normalization.
