About this listener summary
I have spent 9 years building consumer audio products, most of it on the part people actually touch: the player, the queue, and how the next track gets picked. At Waveform I run a squad of 9 and I still read every session-length dashboard on Monday morning. I care about latency, because a 300ms delay on hitting play is the difference between a session and a bounce.
