❓How does it work

The program needs to connect to Spotify API so it needs a valid access token provided after via the Spotify.com website. An ExpressJS web server is disposed in order to recieve the token and the program itself (after having checked its validity) use it to control the playback. If the token is not valid anymore, the user is prompted to authorization again
