Initial release

Features:

• Synchronization
• Playlist manipulation

The time-to-first-synchronization is a test to see how long it takes to synchronize when the clients are attached and a new song is selected, after the song has been loaded. A TTFS of 0 seconds means that the synchronization with the browser and server occurred perfectly, and they both started playing at the same time. In this version:

Server	Raspberry Pi client	Desktop client
Raspberry Pi	14-40 s	6-10 s
Desktop	10-25 s	0-3 s
