How to choose the right pack

1. Style match: pick line vs. filled to match your design system.
2. File needs: ensure SVG and AI are included if you need editing.
3. Licensing: confirm commercial use and attribution requirements.
4. Completeness: check the pack includes niche instruments you need (e.g., sitar, oud).
5. Accessibility: pick icons with clear silhouettes at small sizes.

Quick implementation tips

• Use SVG sprites or icon fonts for performance on the web.
• Align icons to a 24px or 32px grid for consistent spacing.
• Prefer stroke-based icons for theme adaptability (color/stroke changes via CSS).
• Provide ARIA labels or hidden text when using icons as interactive controls.
