* Automatically adds metadata tags to downloaded files
* Cross-platform support (works on Windows, macOS, and Linux)
* Simple and easy-to-use CLI

## Installation

To install **GoDeez**, simply download the latest binary for your platform from the Releases page.

1. Go to the [Releases](https://github.com/mathismqn/godeez/releases) page.
2. Download the appropriate binary for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
3. Move the binary to a directory included in $PATH for easy access (optional but recommended).

Example (Linux/macOS):
```bash
# Move the downloaded binary to /usr/local/bin for easy access from anywhere
mv godeez-1.0.0-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/godeez
```

## Configuration

The first time you run **GoDeez**, a configuration file named .godeez will be automatically generated in your home directory ($HOME on Linux/macOS, %USERPROFILE% on Windows).

This configuration file contains several important variables that you need to fill out manually. Below are the steps for retrieving and setting each variable.

### Steps to configure

1. Run the application for the first time: This generates the .godeez configuration file in your home directory.
2. Edit the configuration file: Open the .godeez file with a text editor to set the required variables.

### Variables to configure

Here are the key variables you need to set in the .godeez file:

1. `arl_cookie`
* **What is it?**: The arl_cookie is a session cookie used for authentication with Deezer. Without this cookie, the downloader cannot access your account to retrieve playlists, albums, or songs.
* **How to retrieve it**:
1. Open your browser and log in to your Deezer account.
2. Open the Developer Tools (right-click on the page and select “Inspect” or press F12).
3. Navigate to the Application tab (in Chrome/Edge) or Storage tab (in Firefox).
4. In the left panel, look for Cookies and select `https://www.deezer.com`.
5. Find the arl cookie and copy its value.

2. `license_token`
* **What is it?**: The license_token is required to access Deezer’s media URLs for downloading songs. This token is found in the network requests your browser makes when playing a song.
* **How to retrieve it**:
1. Open Developer Tools in your browser (right-click on the page and select “Inspect” or press F12).
2. Go to the Network tab.
3. Start playing a song on Deezer and look for a request to `https://media.deezer.com/v1/get_url`.
4. Select the request and in the Request Data section, find the license_token.
5. Copy the license_token value.

3. `secret_key`
* **What is it?**: The secret_key is a cryptographic value used alongside the iv to decrypt Deezer’s media files.
* **How to retrieve it?**: While we cannot provide the specific secret_key in this documentation, it can be found online through various sources or developer communities that focus on Deezer.

4. `iv`
* **What is it?**: This is another cryptographic variable needed to decrypt media streams from Deezer.
* **How to retrieve it?**: The iv can be found in the [.example-config](https://github.com/mathismqn/godeez/blob/main/.example-config) file included with this project.
