+# Configuration
+go here https://developer.spotify.com/dashboard/applications to make a spotify application. you will need a client ID and a client secret. Set your redirect uri like this:
+
+```http://localhost:8888/callback```
+
+add your information to ~/.config/gspot/gspot.yml like this
+
+```
+client_id: "idgoeshere"
+client_secret: "secretgoeshere"
+port: "8888"
+```
+if you dont want to store your secret in the file in plaintext you can use a command to retreive it:
+
+```
+client_secret_cmd: "secret spotify_secret"
+```
+
+you should have either client_secret or client_secret_cmd
+
+you can enable debug logging by adding
+
+```
+log_level: "debug"
+log_output: "file"
+```
+
+it will log to ~/.config/gspot/gspot.log

+## RUNNING
+
+```gspot```
+
+you will be asked to login, you will only have to do this the first time. After login you will be asked to select your default device.
+
+helpful keybinds are shown in the bottom of the screen, hit ? to see all of them
+
+To use the custom radio feature:
+
+```gspot radio```
+
+
+or hit ctrl+r on any track in the TUI. This will start an extended radio. To replenish the current radio run ```gspot refillradio``` and all the songs already listened will be removed and that number of new recomendations will be added.
+
+This radio uses slightly different logic than the standard spotify radio to give a longer playlist and more recomendation. With a cronjob you can schedule refill to run to have an infinite and morphing radio station.
