# 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.
