Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the app loads every single song at once which may work if you only have a few a songs but it's a nightmare if you have 4000+ song files like I have. Whenever I try to use the search feature the app starts to slow down or crash trying to look through every filename to make the query. I also can't scroll down alphabetically since it takes way too long and each time I leave the app it goes back to the top. Ignoring folders does help a bit, but even that's a bit of pain with having to constantly scroll or to try and remember which albums have songs with lyrics or not

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if it was cataloged a bit more orderly, like being able to select by artist, album, or folder would be nice instead of having to constantly load every single song at once. It would basically have the same layout as a music explorer would. Clicking on and specific album would only show songs from that album that you can than filter by songs that already have lyric files and select the ones to bulk download.

Ideally it would be nice if it does show all songs that there's a side bar to quickly jump to a specific letter of the alphabet

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another possibility is to just have a file explorer option. Basically navigate to the folder you want to look in and then scan recursively. Once your down you can quick go back go the explorer and pick a new folder, etc.

Additional context
I'm using Android 11 btw

Here's some screenshots from an app called AutomaTag to get idea of what I'm talking about
