To batch download from multiple album URLs, you can use the `main.py` script. This script reads URLs from a file named `URLs.txt` and downloads each one using the album downloader.

### Usage

2. Run the batch download script:

```
python3 main.py
```

3. The downloaded files will be saved in the `Downloads` directory.

## Logging

The application append the downloaded albums in a file named `already_downloaded.txt` to avoid duplicates.
