Creating a developer application for custom album artwork

If you want to include your own album art (up to 150 albums!), you can easily do so by creating a Discord developer app.

• Go to Discord's developer application page
• Create a new app. Call it something like MusicBee.
• Copy the client ID (located in the app details section at the top of the page)
• Paste it into line 47 of the main file
• On the webpage of your new developer app, click Enable Rich Presence at the bottom of the page.
• Make sure to include the playing/paused icons. They are available for download here.
• You should be good to go. Keep the following in mind when uploading album images:
  • Characters like spaces turn into underscores. (found on this line. You can add options for other characters, too) For example, if you are listening to Since I Left You by The Avalanches, the uploaded album name would have to be named "since_i_left_you".
