First of all, thanks for the great piece of code!

There is a hardcoded Client ID in github.com/devgianlu/go-librespot@b67163895b/client_id.go (L5). I'd like to use my own Client ID. I can change the go code and recompile it directly, but when I do so it fails with:

FATA[0000] failed running with interactive auth error="failed obtaining client token: invalid status code from clienttoken: 400"

My Spotify app is set with all APIs and the redirect URI is configured correctly:

My app is in development mode.

What am I missing?

The client ID hardcoded there is a special one from Spotify. What you may want to do is authenticate via an access token made with your app.
