	"description": "Enhances Falcon Player by adding independent background music playback during pre-show sequences with seamless transitions to your main synchronized show. Works alongside FPP's scheduler to play audio-only playlists or internet streams while your pre-show sequence runs, then provides smooth fade-out transitions with brightness control when starting your main show. Features include configurable fade times, blackout periods, automatic volume management, playlist shuffling, optional crossfading between tracks to eliminate silence, dual Text-to-Speech engines (local Piper TTS or cloud-based ElevenLabs for premium quality), up to 20 configurable PSA buttons for quick announcements, and optional post-show return to pre-show state. Perfect for creating professional atmospheres during crowd-gathering periods before your synchronized light show begins. Requires the fpp-brightness plugin for smooth brightness transitions with MultiSync support across all controllers.",
