The code which requires seq (in emms-browser.el) was added in 2017
(contemporaneous with Emacs 25.2), but of course Emacs 24.5 dates back
from 2015.
I'll see if it possible to re-write that code without seq and therefore
to regain that backward compatibility. If so, it will take a good while
before it is done.
Should I add a dependency on a particular version of Emacs in the
meantime?
