Download Playlist

Please ensure that there is no directory named SpotDown/SpotDown/downloads after the first run or would give an error. (Will add some workaround later) Replace https://open.spotify.com/playlist/link_to_playlist with actual link by sharing the playlist and copying its link and Run:

python main.py https://open.spotify.com/playlist/link_to_playlist
