High, I've review the documentation extensively, and didn't find answers to the questions I had. It will be a major up-taking to learn how to install this, so I had a few questions.

Koel

What audio formats does koel support transcoding to? I only saw MP3 mentioned in the doc.
Can you edit metadata in the browser client?
Does koel accept multiple genre tags for songs/albums?
Is there a way to display genre labels when viewing the artist/album page? I didn't see that in the demo, but couldn't view settings.
Lastly, I'd have to setup X-Accel for streaming, MySQL for a database server, and the actual koel software. How resource intensive is this? I'm running in on a server that has an i5 6400 with 16GB of RAM with Plex, Jellyfin, Navidrome, Audiobookshelf, and Tachi-desk (these are all server softwares) behind an Nginx reverse proxy all simultaneously just fine, will all the overhead from koel cause any problems with this setup?

Koel Mobile App

Do the paid mobile apps support caching music for offline?
Are you able to choose what quality they cache the audio files in?
Can you change stream quality in the app

Thank for the software by the way. If there is a better place for me to post these inquiries please let me know, and I will post it there. I couldn't find an official forum.

The answers to some of your questions can be found in the docs, actually, but I'll try to answer them here quickly.

What audio formats does koel support transcoding to? I only saw MP3 mentioned in the doc.

(FLAC isn't supported in the mobile app yet).

Can you edit metadata in the browser client?

Yup!

Does koel accept multiple genre tags for songs/albums?

Songs yes, albums no.

Is there a way to display genre labels when viewing the artist/album page? I didn't see that in the demo, but couldn't view settings.

No.

How resource intensive is this?

I don't know, but I'm willing to bet your server can totally handle it without a sweat.

Do the paid mobile apps support caching music for offline?

Yes.

Are you able to choose what quality they cache the audio files in?

Nope :) The audio files are cached as-is.

Can you change stream quality in the app.

Nope, but I hope I can manage some time for that in the future.
