I created a custom script that uses Lidarr API and downloads missing
albums/tracks with d-fi directly instead of torrents

I've created a script that integrates Lidarr with command line tools
such as d-fi or can be switched out for alternative command lines with
swapping one line of code.

1. **Fetch Missing Tracks/Albums**: It fetches missing tracks
(singles) and albums (including EPs) from Lidarr's API.
2. **Spotify API Search**: For each missing item, it searches Spotify
using their API to find a match.
3. **Download Links**: Matching Spotify URLs are saved into separate
text files (one for tracks and one for albums).
4. **Automatic Downloads**: Uses d-fi.exeto automatically download the
tracks from the provided Spotify links. This part is only one line of
code and can be swapped out for any command line downloader for music
based on spotify links.

Ideal for those who aren't satisfied with usenet/torrent indexing in
Lidarr and do like to use cli downloaders.
