Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Googolplexed0/zotify/issues/170

I'm not sure if this is a bug or another issue so I used the blank issue. I've tried all branches of this repo, I have added a 'app' in the Spotify API, and I do have Spotify Premium.

With switching every branch I deleted the config and credentials files to make sure it's clean all the time, and when logging in with Zotify I authenticated my 'app' in Spotify so that works and the callback URL too.

Now when I try to fetch a single song, I get this in the terminal:

zotify "<url_to_spotify_track>" --client-id <client_id>
