Hi,

This app doesn't work.

When I'm launching it, I get the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/song", line 70, in <module>
    app()
  File "/usr/local/bin/song", line 7, in app

Oh, I forgot to mension on the readme that you actually have to start spotify. Or else the script can't hook into spotify.

Let me know if it still doesn't work.

Anyways thanks for letting me know. I'll add a better response message than an exception.

Just as a reminder, is still not on the readme that we actually have to start spotify :)

@max-devjs Sir, you are correct. I'll update the readme today :)
