//In order to get blocks of songs, for fix performance issues at least in Android, use next

componentWillMount() {
    DeviceEventEmitter.addListener(
        'onBatchReceived',
        (params) => {
            this.setState({songs : [
                ...this.state.songs,
                ...params.batch
            ]});
        }
    )
}

componentDidMount(){
        MusicFiles.getAll({
            id : true,
            blured : false,
            artist : true,

            fields : ['title','artwork','duration','artist','genre','lyrics','albumTitle']
        });
}

MusicFiles returns an array of objects where you can loop, something like this.

[
  {
    id : 1,
    title : "La danza del fuego",
    author : "Mago de Oz",
    album : "Finisterra",
    genre : "Folk",
    duration : 132132312321, // miliseconds
    cover : "file:///sdcard/0/123.png",
    blur : "file:///sdcard/0/123-blur.png", //Will come null if createBLur is set to false
    path : "/sdcard/0/la-danza-del-fuego.mp3",
    date : "2017",
    lyrics : "[00:00] Cuando despiertes un dia..."
  }
]
