📄 Description

As part of a computer science course, I recently followed the spotipy getting started and made notes of any issues I ran into. I have now added comments in areas that caused me trouble while trying to run some of the features.

initially I had issues with installing and accessing the spotipy library with the listed installation instruction.

I also noticed not all of the same information is provided in the github repo as on the website under getting started. I understand the the repo points to the website for extensive information, however the README lacks any mention of how to get the URI redirect for Authorization Code Flow.

I had issues with the add_track_to_playlist function, but came across the user_playlist_add_tracks function on the website. When I tried to run this function I was informed in pyCharm to use playlist_add_items instead. Neither of the latter 2 functions are in the examples folder, so I thought it would be good to have an alternate example for adding tracks to playlists.
