A preliminary test with the limited files I have here looks good.

Since the diff between the main and info-native branches is only
emms-info-native (and version numbers), can you please merge the work
you have done so far in info-native into the main branch?

We can keep info-native for you to continue development, but I want
everyone who gets a copy of the main branch to also have
emms-info-native.el.

Thanks!
