## Setup

### Spotify Developer Account

**Why?**

By setting up a Developer account and creating your own credentials (like keys), you are ensuring that the app connects to your account in a safe way without sharing your login details with anyone. It gives you full control over what the app can access and helps keep your Spotify account secure.

1. Create a new app: https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard
2. Set "Redirect URI" to `http://127.0.0.1:8888/callback`
   ![Spotify create new app](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abhishekmj303/ytm2spt/refs/heads/main/media/spotify_create_app.png)
3. Copy the "Client ID" and "Client Secret" to use later

   ![Spotify credentials](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abhishekmj303/ytm2spt/refs/heads/main/media/spotify_credentials.png)
4. Copy the "User ID" from your Spotify account: https://www.spotify.com/in-en/account/profile/
   ![Spotify username](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/abhishekmj303/ytm2spt/refs/heads/main/media/spotify_username.png)
