When run without any arguments, interactive mode is used. The user is prompted for URLs of songs or playlists. If a playlist is given, the user has the option to download individual songs from that playlist or all of them as well as the ability to see the songs in the playlist prior to making a decision. The default download directory is the user's Downloads/ directory, e.g. C:\Users\[USER]\Downloads\. The user is prompted if they want to change the directory prior to downloading the songs.
