Install dependencies:
poetry install
Then run:
poetry run python src/main.pyTo automatically backup (in a script, on a schedule...):
poetry run python src/main.py --backupTo get only a specific playlist
poetry run python src/main.py --backup --playlist <name of playlist>To get decade-distribution for any file
