final FlutterAudioQuery audioQuery = FlutterAudioQuery();

List<ArtistInfo> artists = await audioQuery.getArtists(); // returns all artists available

artists.forEach( (artist){
      print(artist); /// prints all artist property values
    } );

 /// getting all albums available on device storage
 List<AlbumInfo> albumList = await audioQuery.getAlbums();

/// getting all albums available from a specific artist
List<AlbumInfo> albums = await audioQuery.getAlbumsFromArtist(artist: artist);
    albums.forEach( (artistAlbum) {
      print(artistAlbum); //print all album property values
    });

/// getting all genres available
 List<GenreInfo> genreList = audioQuery.getGenres();

 genreList.foreach( (genre){
   /// getting all artists available from specific genre.
   await audioQuery.getArtistsFromGenre(genre: genre);

   /// getting all albums which appears on genre [genre].
   await audioQuery.getAlbumsFromGenre(genre: genre);

    /// getting all playlist available
    List<PlaylistInfo> playlist = await audioQuery.getPlaylists();

    /// Getting playlist songs
    List<SongInfo> songs = await audioQuery.getSongsFromPlaylist(playlist: playlist[0]);

    /// adding songs into a specific playlist
    PlaylistInfo updatedPlaylist = await playlist[0].addSong(song: songs[2] );

    //removing song from a specific playlist
    updatedPlaylist = await updatedPlaylist.removeSong(song: songs[2]);

    audioQuery.getAlbums(sortType: AlbumSortType.MOST_RECENT_YEAR )

    audioQuery.getArtits(sortType: ArtistSortType.MORE_TRACKS_NUMBER_FIRST);
    /// and more...
