Special hardcoded options:
ROOT_PATH Change this path if you don't like the default directory where ZSpotify saves the music
ROOT_PODCAST_PATH Change this path if you don't like the default directory where ZSpotify saves the podcasts
SKIP_EXISTING_FILES Set this to False if you want ZSpotify to overwrite files with the same name rather than skipping the song
MUSIC_FORMAT Set this to "ogg" if you would rather that format audio over "mp3"
RAW_AUDIO_AS_IS Set this to True to only stream the audio to a file and do no re-encoding or post processing
FORCE_PREMIUM Set this to True if ZSpotify isn't automatically detecting that you are using a premium account
ANTI_BAN_WAIT_TIME Change this setting if the time waited between bulk downloads is too high or low
OVERRIDE_AUTO_WAIT Change this to True if you want to completely disable the wait between songs for faster downloads with the risk of instability
