Q: I can't find vx.x.x on download section, what do I do wrong?

A:x.x.x stands for the version number, look for that in releases.

Q: How does Spoton work?

A: It works by using the Windows API calls from Spotify to detectartist - title, plus using Spotify's media controls.

Q: Does Spoton require a Spotify API key or internet connection?

A: No. Spoton does not use Spotify API keys and it works offline.

Q: I am getting an error:$dll: unable to open 'C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\mIRC\spoton.dll

A: This can show up for 2 reasons:

1. You have put the DLL file in the wrong location.
2. You need to installVisual C++ Redistributable 2015-2022 (x86)

Q: I am getting an error:/echo: insufficient parameters orArtist - ??? ?????? ??? or nothing.

A: You are using an outdated version of Spoton. Please update.
