Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/issues/743

Spotify-player uses the default client id in the url even when i change it in app.toml or use client_id_command instead. i get an illegal scope every time i try to authenticate as a result. I have made an app on spotify dashboard and specified the id in the app.toml but it seems to still be broken.
version 0.20.5
arch linux

This is expected. The configured client_id is only meant for Spotify Connect feature and the app will use the default client ID for all other features. I don't know why you failed to authenticate with illegal scope though. Do you have premium Spotify account?

The configured `client_id` is only meant for [Spotify Connect feature](https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player?tab=readme-ov-file#spotify-connect) and the app will use the default client ID for all other features. I don't know why you failed to authenticate with illegal scope though. Do you have **premium** Spotify account?
