2. Install dependencies

   If you are on Linux, make sure you have the libasound2-dev package installed.
   Additionally, you need the libmp3lame library.
   On Mac OS, run brew install lame, provided you have Homebrew installed.

3. Build

  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/free_librespot_private_key

1. Create a new application on the Spotify developer dashboard

2. Run DownOnSpot

   $ ./down_on_spot
   Settings could not be loaded because of the following error: IO: NotFound No such file or directory. (os error 2)...
   ..but default settings have been created successfully. Edit them and run the program again.

   The settings.json file is located in the following directories:

   • Windows: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\down_on_spot\settings.json
