Setting up:

you'll need a ClientID and ClientSecret for it to run. when you run for the first time it it'll ask you to enter them in the browser, then will ask you to authorize the app in your spotify account.

you can pass the ClientID and ClientSecret as paramaters to avoid entering them in the browser
cmd/shell command:

SpotifyMuteAds.exe <ClientID> <ClientSecret>

you can use _RUN.bat file, but you need to edit it first

1. right-click on it and press 'Edit'
2. now replace the <ClientID> and <ClientSecret> with your ClientID and ClientSecret and save the file
3. now you can use _RUN.bat to run the script

Starting:

After running for the first time, a browser tab will open

1. If you didn't pass the clientID and clientSecret it'll ask you to enter them now. if you did, then you can skip this step
2. Then it's goning to ask you to authourize the app with your spotify account, do it and wait for the message ("OK - This window can be closed now")
