Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/157

Originally assigned to: @Googolplexed0 on GitHub.

Zotify Version
v0.15.3 (new-hierarchy)

Bug Description
Must periodically re-authenticate for Spotify API. Is it possible to refresh the token to avoid having to periodically open this link?

I have done this with another script using spotipy but I am not sure if it is possible with the method used here.

Bug Triggering Command
sudo -u pi /home/pi/.local/bin/zotify -f tz.txt --download-format mp3 --download-quality very_high --root-path /media/pi/X9/DJ/Music --output "{artist} - {song_name}" --download-real-time True --md-save-genres True --client-id XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --debug

Config File
config_DEBUG.json

Additional Comments
This previously was no issue and was really nice as it would allow you to run zotify on a cronjob but if it requires manual url interaction that would be counterintuitive. I would really appreciate if this can be resolved. If I can help with it let me know.

Thank you!
