+Architecture
+============
+
+This document describes the architecture of the Rusty MP3 player.
+
+Components
+----------
+
+The MP3 player is designed with the following components:
+
+Main Application
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main application entry point handles:
+
+* Command-line argument parsing
+* Application initialization
+* Coordinating between different components
+
+MP3 Parser (Future)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The MP3 parser component will be responsible for:
+
+* Reading MP3 file headers
+* Parsing MP3 frames
+* Extracting audio data and metadata
+
+Audio Player (Future)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The audio player component will handle:
+
+* Audio output device management
+* Audio buffer management
+* Playback control (play, pause, stop, seek)
+
+Design Principles
+-----------------
+
+The project follows these design principles:
+
+* **Modularity**: Components are separated into distinct modules
+* **Testability**: Code is written to be easily testable
+* **Learning-focused**: Code is documented and easy to understand
+* **Bazel build**: Modern build system with clear dependencies
+
+Technology Stack
+----------------
+
+* **Language**: Rust
+* **Build System**: Bazel (using Bazelmod/bzlmod)
+* **Audio Libraries**: TBD (possibly rodio or cpal)
+* **Testing**: Rust's built-in test framework
+
+Build System
+------------
+
+The project uses Bazel with Bazelmod (MODULE.bazel) for build configuration.
+This provides:
+
+* Reproducible builds
+* Clear dependency management
+* Fast incremental builds
+* Cross-platform support

+Rusty MP3 Player Documentation
+===============================
+
+Welcome to the Rusty MP3 Player documentation!
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+Rusty MP3 is a simple MP3 player written in Rust for learning purposes.
+This project aims to provide a basic understanding of:
+
+* Audio file handling
+* MP3 format parsing
+* Audio playback in Rust
+* Building Rust projects with Bazel
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+Building the Project
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This project uses Bazel as its build system. To build the project::
+
+    bazel build //src:rusty-mp3
+
+Running the Player
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To run the MP3 player::
+
+    bazel run //src:rusty-mp3
+
+Testing
+~~~~~~~
+
+To run the tests::
+
+    bazel test //tests:all
+
+Project Structure
+-----------------
+
+The project is organized as follows:
+
+* ``src/`` - Source code for the MP3 player
+* ``tests/`` - Integration and unit tests
+* ``docs/`` - Project documentation in reStructuredText format
+
+Future Enhancements
+-------------------
+
+Planned features include:
+
+* MP3 file parsing
+* Audio playback support
+* Playlist management
+* Command-line interface
+* Configuration options
+
+Contributing
+------------
+
+This is a learning project. Feel free to experiment and extend it!
+
+License
+-------
+
+This project is for educational purposes.
