# Short about this app: | ||
* It's a very easy to use, flexible naming customisation and protability app. \ | ||
* It provides the user to make multiple "User Folders" which will store the spotify user data so you don't have to login again when wanting to switch accounts! | ||

How to download released archive: | ||
1. Go to releases | ||
2. Choose your version | ||
3. Download the archive with the platform-architecture name from the chapters above | ||
4. De-archive/Extract the contents in a folder where you want your "Spotify Account Switcher" app to be | ||
|
||
How to use the app: | ||
There are two parts of the program: | ||
1. Main | ||
2. Switch | ||
- The main one, run it and it will: | ||
- create a folder called "New User" | ||
- copy the contents of the folder called Source into the new user folder | ||
- copy the "prefs" file from the spotify directory (this is the file that actually stores your profile data) | ||
- The switch one, run it and it will: | ||
- copy or overide the "prefs" file from the spotify directory with the one inside your user folder | ||
|
||
Customisation: | ||
- This app is flexible for naming but robust for the actual structure | ||
- Naming : | ||
- You can change the name of the folder newly create by the main executable to anything you want! | ||
- Portability : | ||
- After you create a user folder you can move it anywhere you want! | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
How it all works: | ||
1. The main executable | ||
- creates a folder if it doesn't exist already called "New User" | ||
- copy the switch executable from the source folder into the new user folder | ||
- copy the prefs file from the spotify directory into your new user folder | ||
2. How the app finds the prefs file: | ||
- based on the OS (operating system) it expands/goes to a directory through enviroment variables of the system or simply the path | ||
3. The switch executable: | ||
- copies the prefs file within the directory of the switch executable and copies or overides the one from the spotify directory. |
