## Prerequisites
* Python 3.8 or higher
* The cookies file of your Spotify browser session in Netscape format (free or premium)
* To export your cookies, use one of the following browser extensions while signed in to Spotify:
* Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/export-cookies-txt
* Chromium based browsers: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gdocmgbfkjnnpapoeobnolbbkoibbcif

### Optional dependencies
The following tools are optional but required for specific features. Add them to your system’s PATH or specify their paths using command-line arguments or the config file.
* [FFmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html)
* Used when setting `ffmpeg` as remux mode.
* Used when setting `mp4` or `webm` as video format.
* [MP4Box](https://gpac.io/downloads/gpac-nightly-builds/)
* Used when setting `mp4box` as remux mode.
* [Shaka Packager](https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-packager/releases/latest)
* Used when setting `webm` as video format and when downloading music videos.
* [mp4decrypt](https://www.bento4.com/downloads/)
* Used when setting `mp4box` or `mp4decrypt` as remux mode.
* [aria2c](https://github.com/aria2/aria2/releases)
* Used when setting `aria2c` as download mode.
* .wvd file
* Used when setting `aac` as audio quality or when downloading music videos.
* A .wvd file contains the Widevine keys from a device and is required to decrypt music videos and songs in AAC. The easiest method of obtaining one is using KeyDive, which extracts it from an Android device. Detailed instructions can be found here: https://github.com/hyugogirubato/KeyDive.
* Note: .wvd files extracted from emulated devices may not work.

## Installation
1. Install the package `votify` using pip
```bash
pip install votify
```
2. Set up the cookies file.
* You can either move to the current directory from which you will be running Votify as `cookies.txt` or specify its path using the command-line arguments/config file.

## Usage
```bash
votify [OPTIONS] URLS...
