### Docker Usage - CURRENTLY BROKEN
```
Build the docker image from the Dockerfile:
  docker build -t zotify .
Create and run a container from the image:
  docker run --rm -u $(id -u):$(id -g) -v "$PWD/zotify:/app" -v "$PWD/config.json:/config.json" -v "$PWD/Zotify Music:/Zotify Music" -v "$PWD/Zotify Podcasts:/Zotify Podcasts" -it zotify
```

### What do I do if I see "Your session has been terminated"?

If you see this, don't worry! Just try logging back in. If you see the incorrect username or password error, reset your password and you should be able to log back in.


### Will my account get banned if I use this tool?

Currently no user has reported their account getting banned after using Zotify.

It is recommended you use Zotify with a burner account.
Alternatively, there is a configuration option labled ```DOWNLOAD_REAL_TIME```, this limits the download speed to the duration of the song being downloaded thus appearing less suspicious.
This option is much slower and is only recommended for premium users who wish to download songs in 320kbps without buying premium on a burner account.
