[Cog 3357] Options to disable statistics etc.

[twoco]

Describe
I like clean small apps. Less is more. Great player, but In this point, I don't like the statistics in this player. Things like play count, rating, log played songs and keep pathes. I would like to disable all this stuff. I just want to hear music without log or persistent stuff. No disk writings. Btw. about the song info I only have Index, Status, Title, (Artist, Album) and Length.

And why are the pathes of played files stored in "Folder access paths"? Why not just play like VLC, IINA, etc? Why so complicated? I don't like history and other tracking stuff. Could we add options to disable and clear this? There are already options to reset counter and rating per file. Option to clear all and disable it would be great.

Suggestions / Ideas / Requests / Questions:

• Option to disable and clear statistics. No log, persistent playlist, etc. Blank playlist on startup.

• Why asking for path access grant? The player can play it anyway. Do it like other players like VLC or IINA.

• Add an button to clear playlist. Just for quick clean up. Icon could be clean-up or trash-bin. Not move to trash confusion. In my option this option should not part of the app (changes on disk).

• Add option to extend a song. This is useful for VGM and similar tracks which are very short. Just an n-time repeater. Most of such songs have loop marker, if not just repeat all. I know this feature from another player (forgot name).

• Feature to convert any vgm or similar (non-stream audio) to stream audio like wav, mp3, flag, m4a. With option to extend the song n-times.
