1. Core Requirements
- Ultralight: The player should have a minimal footprint in terms of both memory usage and CPU consumption.
- MIDI Support: It must support playing MIDI files, which include musical notes and sometimes additional information like lyrics or cues.
- Resource Pack: This implies a customizable and possibly extensible architecture to allow for various resource packs (e.g., themes, additional instruments).
