 ### About cache folder
-funkwhale-cli has to cache tracks before playing. Cache is persistent and you should manage it manually because the (script/program) can't clean it automatically.
+funkwhale-cli has to cache tracks before playing (default disabled "enable_persistent_cache"). Cache is persistent and you should manage it manually because the (script/program) can't clean it automatically.
 Cache structure: cache/domain.tld/[track uuid]  
 You can play tracks offline, example: mpv --shuffle cache/*/*  
 cache_helper.sh - it might be useful for compression cache (lossy: vorbis 128 kbps, no thumbnail)
