v1.2.0 - multiplatform + ease of access update

Updated with help from Doublefire-Chen to help make it have better compatibility with Linux and MacOS. Also helps with ease of getting tokens.

v1.1.1 - bugfixes galore

Downloads lyrics and album cover of currently playing song and saves to folder based on artist and album for offline playback (e.g Plex, Kodi, MusicBee)

this update pretty much focuses on fixing some spaghetti code and adding file checks so it doesn't constantly redownload if its already been downloaded.
